Solid, nice work!

It would be nice if veth were mq capable.

For whatever reason, I didn’t see this on my i210at’s (1gbit ethernet with 4 transmit and 4 receive queues).

I’m now playing with netem, cake and veth for the first time (two namespaces with netem as the parent qdisc to cake for each namespace). I’ve gotten the setup not to lock up in an infinite loop but to occasionally stop passing traffic sometimes after a netperf test. This could easily be a problem specific to netns though, so I’ll be playing with it some more and will post if I can narrow it down to something specific.
