Subject: Scaling the Number of Network Interfaces on Linux

David, Roopa,

to follow your talk at nedev11, I already proposed some times ago a patch to
remove sysctl, which was rejected. You can see the thread here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285840

Instead of removing completly the sysctl entries, another idea could be to
manage a group of interfaces which will share the same subtree.

Regards,
Nicolas
