Switching Performance – Connecting Linux Network Namespaces
In a previous article I have shown several solutions to interconnect Linux network namespaces (http://www.opencloudblog.com). Four different solutions can be used – but which is the best solution with respect to performance and resource usage? This is quite interesting when you are running Openstack Networking Neutron together with the Openvswitch. The systems used to run these […]

Typical hosts do not provide one or more physical adapters for each NIC of a virtual machine in KVM or per container when using LXC. Something else must take the part to interconnect the virtual network […]
