Not out of the blue. But you can watch lkml and, when related emails come by and, especially, when the community discusses whether the patches are worthwhile, then chime in. > Different approaches were proposed: > > * CR from userspace only : we know it is not possible to fully support > the CR with this approach.

If some of those patches will make it upstream, then if nothing else we can look into augmenting the purely-userspace c/r with that support. > The latter is for the moment investigated by the containers@ community > and AFAIK this approach has a better chance to be accepted but there is > still a lot of work to do. I personally feel pessimistic about it, but we'll see. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
