Just the contrary, the network stack virtualization concept is mostly general-purpose oriented. The (minor) penalty of "a lot of overhead" introduced by the patch is measurable only on loopback traffic, however in practice the NIC media sets the limit on traffic throughput, so in most cases no performance degradation can be observed. Some measurement results can be found at http://www.tel.fer.hr/zec/papers/zec-bsdconeurope-2002.pdf On the other hand, I agree with you that this stuff is still in early experimental phase, but the patch has been proven to work reliably with 4.7-RELEASE as announced, with a -CURRENT version to follow soon...
