Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Michael Kerrisk To: unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1133 Lines: 37 Sorry for the shotgun mail, but in the end, it's not clear who can best answer my question(s). I'm currently trying to add documentation of all of the undocumented CLONE_* flags. One of these is CLONE_NEWNET, and I could use (quite a lot of) help. My questions: What is the current state of the network namespace implementation? Is it complete? What objects are considered part of the network namespace, and therefore distinct for a new network namespace? Is there any documentation for network namespaces already? Are there any test programs for network namespaces?
