If you’re thinking about using network namespaces, be sure your Linux distribution includes support.

In the virtualization space, it’s extremely common to want to use multiple physical network connections in your hypervisor hosts to support guest (virtual machine) traffic. Because of these default behaviors, users in VMware environments simply connect multiple links to their hosts and off they go.
