Hello,
thanks for the answer.
Using the KNI API, I create a new interface, and then I "push it into
the container".
At this point, from the container, I send traffic and it is received in
the KNI example program.
Instead, in my understanding, it is not possible to attach KNI to an
already existing interface. Am I right?
Thank you,
Ivano
