It is for an underlying link for example: a veth pair is a link for each other, a tunnel device has a link to transmit packets. Bridge and bonding are master devices where "slaves" (or ports for bridge) can join. netns doesn't have a name or id by nature, we assign it a name by binding mount some /proc file, these LINK_NETNSID's are not absolutely unique either, just relatively. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
