we do have an initial version of netmap support for veth (Linux; in FreeBSD would be epair), Hopefully we will be able to complete and distribute the veth code shortly. If you are not familiar with netmap internals it may be easier to wait for our code than start developing your own. As a temporary workaround you can surely use VALE switches or netmap pipes to connect different containers. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
