Hi list,

although I already read most of the (wiki) documentation and searched
around on the net, I still have some questions left.

- - Is there a way to increase the MTU of VE's interfaces above the
default values?

net.ipv6.conf.all.mtu = 1280
net.ipv6.conf.default.mtu = 1280
net.ipv6.conf.lo.mtu = 16436
net.ipv6.conf.venet0.mtu = 1500
net.ipv6.route.mtu_expires = 600

I tried to set them in sysctl.conf, but they are ignored. At the moment
I use venet (as it's sufficient, at least unless I get told that veth is
mandatory for setting another MTU ;) and IPv6 *only* in the VEs.

- - Is there an (easy) way to access (read/write) to a VE's /proc? I need
to mangle with the VE's iptables instances.

Thanks in advance,

Timo
