network namespace连接的4种方法及性能
veth pair
# add the namespaces
ip netns add ns1
ip netns add ns2
# create the veth pair
ip link add tap1 type veth peer name tap2
# move the interfaces to the namespaces
ip link set tap1 netns ns1
ip link set tap2 netns ns2
# bring up the links
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev tap1 up
ip netns exec ns2 ip link set dev tap2 up
# now assign the ip addresses
linux bridge and two veth pairs
# add the namespaces ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 # create the switch BRIDGE=br-test brctl addbr $BRIDGE brctl stp $BRIDGE off ip link set dev $BRIDGE up # #### PORT 1 # create a port pair ip link add tap1 type veth peer name br-tap1 # attach one side to linuxbridge brctl addif br-test br-tap1 # attach the other side to namespace ip link set tap1 netns ns1 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev tap1 up ip link set dev br-tap1 up # #### PORT 2 # create a port pair ip link add tap2 type veth peer name br-tap2 # attach one side to linuxbridge brctl addif br-test br-tap2 # attach the other side to namespace ip link set tap2 netns ns2 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns2 ip link set dev tap2 up ip link set dev br-tap2 up #
openvswitch and two veth pairs
# add the namespaces ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 # create the switch BRIDGE=ovs-test ovs-vsctl add-br $BRIDGE # #### PORT 1 # create a port pair ip link add tap1 type veth peer name ovs-tap1 # attach one side to ovs ovs-vsctl add-port $BRIDGE ovs-tap1 # attach the other side to namespace ip link set tap1 netns ns1 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev tap1 up ip link set dev ovs-tap1 up # #### PORT 2 # create a port pair ip link add tap2 type veth peer name ovs-tap2 # attach one side to ovs ovs-vsctl add-port $BRIDGE ovs-tap2 # attach the other side to namespace ip link set tap2 netns ns2 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns2 ip link set dev tap2 up ip link set dev ovs-tap2 up #
openvswitch and two openvswitch ports
# add the namespaces ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 # create the switch BRIDGE=ovs-test ovs-vsctl add-br $BRIDGE # #### PORT 1 # create an internal ovs port ovs-vsctl add-port $BRIDGE tap1 -- set Interface tap1 type=internal # attach it to namespace ip link set tap1 netns ns1 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev tap1 up # #### PORT 2 # create an internal ovs port ovs-vsctl add-port $BRIDGE tap2 -- set Interface tap2 type=internal # attach it to namespace ip link set tap2 netns ns2 # set the ports to up ip netns exec ns2 ip link set dev tap2 up

结论：
The short summary is:
- Use Openvswitch and Openvswitch internal ports – in the case of one iperf thread you get 6.9 GBit/s throughput per CPU Ghz. But this solution does not provide any iptables rules on the link.
- If you like the old linuxbridge and veth pairs you get only 0.7 GBit/s per CPU Ghz throughput. With this solution it’s possible to filter the traffic on the network namespace links.
Openstack
If you are running Openstack Neutron, you should use the Openvswitch. Avoid linuxbridges. When connecting the Neutron networking Router/LBaas/DHCP namespaces DO NOT enable ovs_use_veth.
