Dear all,
The issue is that we want to create a virtual link between two VMs on
the same physical machine (regardless of their interfaces and network
already created by neutron that inter-connect them through br-int or
ovs). Let us consider the most simple scenario: same physical machine,
same project, etc.
More specifically, let's say that using network name-spaces we can do it
easily as follow, and we want to do the same for compute VMs.
Create two net NameSpaces and inter-connect them via direct veth link
------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo ip netns add vm1
$ sudo ip netns add vm2
$ sudo ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth2
$ sudo ip link set dev veth2 netns vm2
$ sudo ip link set dev veth1 netns vm1
$ sudo ip netns exec vm2 ip link set dev veth2 up
$ sudo ip netns exec vm1 ip link set dev veth1 up
$ sudo ip netns exec vm2 ip address add 10.1.1.2/24 dev veth2
$ sudo ip netns exec vm1 ip address add 10.1.1.1/24 dev veth1
$ sudo ip netns exec vm1 bash
# ifconfig
