My knowledge on network bandwidth limitations is poor, so I am not sure. Are you sure we need a cgroup for bandwidth limitations ? Shouldn't apply to a specific network device ? so we can assign a bandwidth limitation to the network device of the container ? > Also, we are open to work on other features for lxc, too if there is > something to be done. Great ! Welcome ! There is a lot of stuff todo, here is a quick list: kernel: * cgroup disk/file quotas lxc userspace core: * routes configuration * more network configuration (tun/tap) lxc scripts: * a comprehensive tool to create containers (eg. a configuration wizard) The idea with the lxc tools is there are some low level, highly configurable, binaries and on top of that there is a bigger script using these binaries and providing a most common configuration, very secure and isolated. Something similar to how is invoked git. For example: lxc-start, lxc-create, lxc-destroy and the upper tool equivalent is "lxc start", "lxc create", "lxc destroy". > [1] http://swarm.cs.pub.ro/~irinap/lxc_test > [2] > https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018595.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
