I ported it to the 2.6.20 kernel and uploaded the patchset to http://lxc.sourceforge.net/network.php For the part I had to used (TCP/UDP-IPV4 with usual ethernet device), I found the patchset pretty stable. You can find in the website: - a global description of what is the network namespace - a howto for the network namespace configuration - a benchmarking matrix - the network namespace patchset for 2.6.20 kernel I hope that can helps to answer what is ? , what for ?, how to use ? questions. If you have any questions or feedbacks, feel free to send an email to containers@ mailing list Thanks. -- Daniel
