I'll run some tests later today. Based on my previous tests,
I don't remember any significant overhead.
Using the mac-vlan and source-based routing tables, I can give a
unique 'interface' to each process and have each process able to bind
to the same IP port, for instance. Using source-based routing (by
binding to a local IP explicitly and adding a route table for that
source IP), I can give unique default routes to each interface as
well. Since we cannot have more than 256 routing tables, this approach
is currently limitted to around 250 virtual interfaces, but that is
still a substantial amount.
an typically that would be sufficient IMHO, but
of course, a more 'general' hash tag would be
better in the long run ...
I'm willing to offer a bounty (hardware, beer, money, ...)
if someone will 'fix' this so we can have 1000 or more routes....
Being able to select these routes at a more global level (without
having to specifically bind to a local IP would be nice as well.)
