I am only using macvlans for N1 in the ipv6 test, where there are 3 nodes. How do I use veths for that?
checkout the connect_ns function. It uses veth to connect ns1 to ns2.
I apologize in advance for being slow ... I have 3 namespaces that have to share the same LAN, I am not trying 1-1 connections among those namespaces.
How would you cable this if it were an actual network with physical nodes?
- bridge on R1 (since it is the gw for H1), with connections to R2 and
H1 into the bridge
- second connection between R1 and R2
- connection between R2 and H2
For the simulation, network namespaces represent physical nodes, veth pairs act like a cable between the nodes / namespaces and the bridge makes the LAN.
