[lxc-users] VALE as networking option in LXC

[Ratliff, Stanley]

Hello,

Does anyone have any additional information about running Netmap/VALE in LXC containers? I'm trying to reproduce your results with Ubuntu - kernel version is 3.13.0-43-generic. I'm not able to even create the LXC - I get an error. I've included some short information below, and would appreciate any additional pointers you might have. I'd like to consider using Netmap/VALE in some upcoming projects, but can't get past this error.

Regards,
Stan
