Linux Containers - Network Namespace status report (update: Mar 27, 2008)
Description
This page describe the status of the network namespace implementation and merging into the mainline.
The meaning of the different items is:
implemented : resource per namespace but code is out of tree and pending for merging
partial : code partially merged into mainline, that describes the fact that the resource is namespace aware but the code does not handle several instances of this resource
mostly done : code mostly merged into mainline, the code takes care of different namespace but there are few modification to have it complete
done : resource per namespace and merged into mainline, the code is complete
Warning: having a resource set as "done" does not mean it is operational, considering everything is interconnected, some part marked as done can be temporary disabled depending on the resource it relies
