One practical example: virtualized routes, eg. for VPNs. Several years ago, I had a customer who provided VPNs via central hubs - one of the main problem was that he had dedicated physical machines for the VPN hubs due overlapping IP spaces. We've later migrated them to coliunx-based VMs to save a lot iron. In one of my next projects this issue will pop up again. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
