Hello Serge,

I am indeed using Eric patch with lxc.

It solves the initial problem of slowness to start around 1600
containers.

Good so now we just need a production ready patch for iproute.

I am now able to start more than  2000 without having new containers
slower and slower to start.

May I ask how large a box you are running and how complex your
containers are.  I am trying to get a feel for how common it is likely
to be to find people running thousands of containers on a single
machine.
