[Devel] [PATCH 0/6] netns: add linux-vrf features via network namespaces

Tue Apr 14 20:14:24 PDT 2009

Hi Vivien Chappelier,

In my use case, a security appliance provides security to 100 networks
and 
a user space process which receives control traffic from these 100
networks.
Earlier we were using VRF ID patch , so my objective of having separate
routing table 
for each network was achieved. 

Now I have to customize  2.6.27 kernel to achieve the above requirement.

I have compiled the 2.6.27 kernel with 
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
# CONFIG_UTS_NS is not set
# CONFIG_IPC_NS is not set
# CONFIG_USER_NS is not set
# CONFIG_PID_NS is not set
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_MACVLAN=y
CONFIG_VETH=y

Please clarify me

1)Will these 6 patches satisfy my requirement ?
  Do I need any additional patches other than the 6 patches?

2)Please let me know the recommended iproute2 version  .

3)Network Namespace object ID starts from 1 ... 4095. Is my
understanding correct ?

4)Are there any test programs to verify ?If so what is the recommended
glibc version to compile these
  test programs?

  I will post my comments after testing this patch.

Regards
    Vamsi
