As you can imagine there are many teams and use cases in the data center.
If I say that netns is not used it won't be true. Since there are folks
that use netns. Though it's strongly discouraged.
For container usage though netns is not used. IP virtualization is done
via cgroup-bpf bind/connect override.
But it's also not in 100% of containers.
There are various teams that use XDP already and some that want to start
using it. The XDP orchestration is lacking. That's all the discussions
around libxdp (and now renamed to libdispatcher, right Toke?) are about.
The design of libdispatcher will evolve over time.
No one is saying that we thought through of everything.
