Hi Jesse,

Just thought of one more thing before I proceed. If openvswitch only runs on
the root namespace, how will vms within another namespace on the same host
communicate with each other? Is this still possible? I forgot to mention
this earlier, but I need communication between vms within one container on
the same host, as well as between containers on different hosts.

Thanks,
AIsh
