Is this a new kernel feature with a patch? If so then please link to its posting to the appropriate upstream and indicate what you understand of its progress upstream. (I seem to remember discussing a COLO networking component at the hackathon which seemed like it could be done using existing components, is that this?)IIRC the existing component I was thinking of was http://www.netfilter.org/projects/libnetfilter_queue/ which allows userspace to do pretty advanced filtering, queueing, gating, delaying etc of packets.The reason we are not using userspace solution is that we worried about the performance.Is this a theoretical concern or something which has actually been observed to be a problem in practice? It is a theoretical concern, we haven't had time try to implement the userspace solution yet. There will be huge amount of packets pass through, the context switch cost will be an overhead.
