[lxc-devel] Default Namespace

2011-02-24 Thread Maheswara Reddy C - ERS, HCL Tech
Hi,
How can we create common default namespace which can be communicated with all 
the other namespaces.
(I mean, all the namespaces will communicate with external system via default 
namespace)
Main() is considered as a default namespace.

Thanks
Mahesh

[lxc-devel] lxc final thesis

2011-02-24 Thread Farcasi Ana-Maria
Hi,

I am a student in the final year at the Computer Science Faculty in
Bucharest, Romania and I would like to contribute to the lxc project as part
of the final thesis together with a colleague of mine.
We were thinking to work at the bandwidth limitation within a container. Is
it ok to contribute? Are there some pointers regarding the course of action?
Or is there anything else we could do in three months time?

Thank you in advance,
Ana-Maria.

What does that mean?

When you say "namespace", there's the mount namespace, network
namespace, PID namespace, /dev namespace, and several others.  Each can
be individually unshared, meaning siblings processes can see the same
network but different filesystems and neither of them have the full
device list their parent has.

As for "communicate": they can communicate.  You can set up a network
routing between different network namesapces.  You can mount shared
filesystems between different filesystem namespaces.  You can
communicate to the outside world through /dev nodes in a unique device
namespace.

Please explain: what are you trying to _do_?

Are you referring to bandwidth in general (cpu, io, network ...) or just 
the network ?

Lxc is tied with the cgroup. The cgroup provides some controllers to 
limit the network bandwidth as well as the blkio.
The network bandwidth for a container is hard to setup as far as I can 
see and some experiments to limit the bandwidth wrt the different lxc's 
network configuration maybe helpful. The first step would be to do that 
manually and the second step we can integrate in a couple of 
configuration lines the bandwidth limits for download and upload for the 
container.
