FWIW, I’ve been experimenting with LXD\LXC containers for perfsonar deployments, and it has worked quite well for us. LXD has been in Ubuntu for a while and is now a part of Debian 12.  Part of the reason I chose LXD\LXC is because Cisco has adopted LXC, and I’d like to see if we can run a testpoint on a router.

 

perfSONAR was involved in some experimentation with that in 2017 and ran testpoints on a few Cisco products (9300s, I think) successfully.  The limiting factor at the time was that the containers were on the control plane, only had 1 Gb/s Ethernet and had no direct access to the switch fabric.  The only way to access to the networks being switched was to run a cable from one of the management interfaces to a switched port as if it were an outboard device.  They may have resolved that in more-recent hardware.

 

Other vendors are doing that, too.  At SC19, Extreme Networks inquired about deploying perfSONAR on their routers (which also have containers).   I pointed them at the installation instructions and they were up and running 10 Gb/s tests as part of the SCinet mesh within a couple of hours.
