1) Bridges itself work flawlessly with Debian and I have used them quite often. If mandatory then I will do so in the future too. It is the fact that I do not want to add another piece to the stack if in fact I do not have to -- I do not want to take care of a bridge, maintain, monitor, etc. it, if networking also works excellent without using yet another layer of indirection in my networking stack. Therefore I will use macvlan. Simplicity is key ... 2) http://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00008.html says that in fact all the benefits of bridges will be available with with macvlan in .33 as well. So not using a bridge makes sense since I do not need one for any kind of setup I will need to do - containers having public IP, talking to Internet - containers having private IP, talking to other containers on the host - containers having private IP, talking to host - arbitrary mixture of the above 3) This is simple and straight forward and I am going to adapt my - packet_filter http://github.com/sunoano/bash as well as - generic.sh, used by packet_filter - and probably vzbulk for all kinds of routing and firewalling I need. Setting things up is simple as well http://sunoano.name/ws/public_xhtml/firewall.html#sunos_rule_set_and_how_it_is_applied ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Lxc-devel mailing list Lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
