[Users] Transparent acceleration of OpenVZ inter-/intra-CT traffic

[Pavel Odintsov]

Hello!

Could you provide performance test mentioned above: "we have been able
to increase significantly the performance among CT, from peak transfer
rates of 1.3 Gbps (originally) up to 26 Gbps"?

What kind of OpenVZ interfaces did you use? venet or veth?
