-- The basic design
There will be a network namespace structure that holds the global
variables for a network namespace, making those global variables
per network namespace.
One of those per network namespace global variables will be the
loopback device. Which means the network namespace a packet resides
in can be found simply by examining the network device or the socket
the packet is traversing.
Either a pointer to this global structure will be passed into
the functions that need to reference per network namespace variables
or a structure that is already passed in (such as the network device)
will be modified to contain a pointer to the network namespace
structure.
I believe OpenVZ stores the current namespace somewhere global,
which avoids passing the namespace around. Couldn't you do this
as well?
Will we be able to have a single application be in multiple name-spaces?
Thanks,
Ben
