[Lxc-users] veth vs macvlan

[Kalyana sundaram]

This is my experience, not sure if it is useful to you
I used macvlan on centos6.4 (2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64)
When I increase number of containers, the SUnreclaim part of memory
increased and due to this leak swap is heavily used and performance started
degrading. I tested on a couple of centos boxes and found this issue. Could
not pin point the reason though
Then I moved to Ubuntu 12.04. I am not hitting this issue with macvlan on
Ubuntu.
