One Line Summary

Tunnels are not so easily shared between network namespaces...

Abstract

Tunnels are easy on the host machine, but once you have containers it is hard to use software within that container, to create the tunnel devices. This makes running ordinary vpn software like Tinc or OpenVPN impossible inside containers with more then just the network namespace unshared.

Marian will present his work on allowing tun/tap devices to work seamlessly in the confines of the network namespace.
