Not at this point. Although we have ids that are now possible of that tagging. At this point you need to have a separate socket for each network namespace. All network devices in all network namespaces is not going to ever happen as that makes nested containers and migration impossible. All network devices in an interesting subset of network namespaces is a very reasonable request. > Any pointers are appreciated :) I would look at iproute2. Looking at the description of your code you don't even pick up on the names that have been assigned to network namespaces. So I don't think you are up to speed on everything that is going on there.
