Major Hayden 5e6dea8ab6 Used named veth pairs that match container The default veth names from LXC make it difficult to tell which veth corresponds to each container. This patch sets a unique veth name that matches the container as well as the network device inside the container. It should make troubleshooting a little easier. Oddly enough, this patch seems to fix or greatly reduce the occurence of the issues seen in ticket 1491440. Partial-Bug: 1491440 Implements: blueprint named-veths Change-Id: I28553fd1b4f36991e11d55d56c3f0f46af9e52be		2015-09-02 10:36:17 -05:00
