Actually, I'm focused to lower layers (in particular ethernet layer), so any improvements to TCP doesn't fit well into my case study. Thank you anyway, I'll will add it to the "must see" things. Regarding netmap, its kernel module creates a character device (/dev/netmap), which I want to make accessible into lxc containers as first step to evaluate performance. I've setup config file adding these lines: lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 10:57 rwm because I have crw------- 1 root root 10, 57 16 apr 11.23 /dev/netmap but any mknod inside the container fail with an "operation not permitted". For example: mknod /dev/netmap c 10 57 mknod: "/dev/netmap": Operation not permitted I get this behavior on ubuntu hosts, with 3.5.0, but on archlinux hosts as well, with 3.8.5 kernel version. There's something I'm missing? Maybe on the netmap side (from its sources, I see that it create the device with a call to misc_register [1]) ? Basically, I need a "pass-through" to reach /dev/netmap on the host side from the containers. Thank you in advance [1] http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.8.7/include/linux/miscdevice.h#L63
