Multiple Interfaces

In most cases you will want multiple interfaces. In this example, we built a front-end container called "web", gave it a public IP address using mavlan. In addition, we create an "app" container which has an lxc internal IP address. In order for web and app to communicate, web must have a second interface that also uses an lxc provided internal IP address.

macvtap

This looks promising... The most prominent user of macvtap interfaces seems to be libvirt/KVM, which allows guests to be connected to macvtap interfaces. Doing so allows for (almost) bridged-like behaviour of guests but without the need to have a real bridge on the host, as a regular ethernet interface can be used as the macvtap's lower device.
