Great!

Well let's first just see if it's sysfs not scaling - what if you just do

for i in `seq 1 2000`; do
        sudo ip link add type veth
        if [ $((i % 100)) -eq 0 ]; then
                echo $i
                ls /sys/class/net
        fi
done

Then make sure to delete them :)  

for d in /sys/class/net/veth*; do
        ip link del `basename $d` 2>/dev/null || true
done

Now if that still scales fine, then let's try passing the veths into the
container...  uh, i'll send a script for that after we get this result :)

thanks!
