I have a dual 3GHz Xeon machine with a 2.4.21 kernel and thousands (15k+) of
ipip tunnel interfaces. These are being used to tunnel traffic from remote
routers, over a private network, and handed off to a third party.
...
Is it possible to speed up creation of the interfaces? Currently it takes
around 24 hours. Is there are more efficient way to handle a very large
number of IP-IP tunnels? Would upgrading to a 2.6 kernel be of use?
2.6 (and the associated 'ip' tool) does have some improvements for
showing very
large numbers of interfaces. I haven't tried more than a few thousand
though...
