SNMP statistics in namespaces

SNMP statistics in namespaces

[Eelco Chaudron]

Hi All,

I was looking at the 2.6.26 nw namespace code, and noticed that the SNMP counters are still system wide. Looking at the status page there is not separate item on SNMP. Was this overlooked, skipped on purpose, or is it in the pipeline?

Hope some one can answer this...

I'm an idiot.  I know that SNMP has something to do with network
statistics, and I'm too lazy to google it.

Could you give us a quick idea why SNMP is important here?  You're
welcome to add it to the list, but it's unlikely to get implemented
until someone thinks it is important.  That said, I'd be happy to help
you put together some patches to implement it.

SNMP is typically the way that most network administration (statistics and
control) is done. I have not looked at the network namespace implementation, but
I am quite confident that it would be a useful thing to do, if not done already.

Hi Dave,

Guess it's useful when you are interested in network statistics per name space. I'm currently evaluating how much of the name space implementation we could use  in one of our projects (see my other email to the group).

Any idea who might have a complete picture on the network name space project, and the overall status?

Thanks,

Eelco

There is the overall status at:

http://lxc.sourceforge.net/network/status.php

AFAIR, Pavel Emylianov did some work on SNMP, I don't remember if he 
told me it was finished or not.

Thanks.

SNMP for ipv4 is finished. Either Denis or me will do the same for
ipv6 in 2.6.28.

Hi Pavel,

Can you let me know where it's fixed? Looking at the 26.0 release I do not see it (is there a patch)...

I submitted patches for 2.6.27. Dave accepted them, so they are in
the current Linus tree (2.6.27=rcX). Ipv6 is not done at all yet.
