@thor Namespaced UUIDs (which employ a hash algorithm) are good for things like that. It is equivalent to a shared key and limited to forward verification, however.

An HMAC moves the problem to the crypto domain, but which method is appropriate is often going to depend on the level of trust required in the system.

@gudenau I’d have to look to see if all the required namespaces are implemented; I’m currently on 4.19-something-or-another.

@gudenau once setup, the packet flow is controlled with routing tables and can be strongly enforced with ip(6)tables.

@gudenau Look into namespaces. You may need a newer kernel. The solution is to have ens3 in root net ns, ens4 and ens5 in their own separate spaces, and veth pairs to connect the two isolated namespaces to the root to allow packet traversal.
