Same remark for ipv4/6 addresses. What prevents you to do 'ip route show' and use these informations to restore the routes later ? Will we end up by moving all the network userspace tools in the kernel ? :) If you use the Eric's setns patchset, you will be able to do that easily from userspace, no ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
