Only in the trivial case where the host only has one external network.
Otherwise, you are going to have to have some sort of configuration to
keep guest traffic isolated from the management or storage network (for
example).

I presume you mean "inter-VM" communication here?  This is already
achievable with a private bridged network for VMs on a host.

There's many existing solutions in this space for networking.

netback/netfront is pretty good now and further improvements to them
would have wider benefits.
