[Users] IPv6: PMTU disc is broken in stable RHEL5 kernel for VETH

[Benoit Branciard]

Hi,

Some days ago I submitted a bug to point out a problem we encountered in 
path MTU discovery not working properly for IPv6 VETH interfaces:


http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1675

This report didn't receive any feedback for now.

Could someone have a look at this problem ?
PMTU discovery is a mandatory feature for proper IPv6 functionnality 
(apart from crippling down the MTU globally on the interface).


According to our tests done so far, the problem can be reproduced in any 
bridged VETH configuration, whatever interface is bridged in (a 
bare-metal physical one, a bonding, a VLAN, or even a VLAN over a bonding).


However, it does not show up with VENET interfaces in the 
distribution-standard config (arp-proxy-based routed mode); it appears 
to be veth-specific.

[Users] Routing all VZ's traffic through a VPN on the host?

[Benjamin Henrion]

Hi,

I am looking on how to route all the traffic coming from the
containers through a VPN interface which is on the hardware node.

Any idea?

I am using venet, not veth interfaces.

Best,

In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators.
