Chapter 1:Introduction to Linux NetworkingIntroduction
Linuxhas rich virtual networking capabilities that are used as basis for hosting VMs andcontainers, as well as cloud environments. In this post, I will give a brief introduction to all commonly used virtual network interface types. There is no code analysis, only a brief introduction to the i...
The redirection capabilities built into Linux provide you with a robust set of tools to optimize many workflows. The “Unix philosophy” of software development was to make tools that each do one thing well, and this philosophy has been carried forward to modern command-line tools, which are i...
Network namespaces provide isolation of network controllers, system resources associated with networking, firewall and routing tables. This allows container to use separate virtual network stack, loopback device and process space. You can add virtual or...
Note: All configurations in this tutorial are volatile and won’t survive a server reboot. If you want to make the configuration persistent across reboots, consider using a networking configuration daemon, such asNetworkManager, or distribution-specific mechanisms. ...
Virtio-networking and OVS Up to this point we have described how the guest can pass the packets to the host kernel using the virtio-networking interface. In order to forward these packets to other guest running on the same host or outside the hosts (such as the internet) we useOVS. ...
Note: When theipipmodule is loaded, or an IPIP device is created for the first time, the Linux kernel will create atunl0default device in each namespace, with attributeslocal=anyandremote=any. When receiving IPIP protocol packets, the kernel will forward them totunl0as a fallback device...

processes on a system, while regular users are used for logging in and running processes interactively. When you first initialize and log in to a Linux system, you may notice that it starts out with many system users already created to run the services that the OS depends on. This is ...
Networking protocolsIf using unsecured protocols such as telnet and FTP the passwords are sent unencrypted across the LAN. It can be possible for someone with a sniffer or LAN trace tool on the LAN to see these unencrypted passwords. If using unsecured network protocols then additional physical ...
