Recently there was a feature in kernel allowing alternative names for network interfaces (https://lwn.net/Articles/794289/) I decided to give it a try: while true; do ip link property add altname `uuidgen` dev lo; done Within 50 seconds I got my machine completely unavailable, and ip start to show strange errors on any input: !!!Deficit 564, rta_len=25954 !!!Deficit 1324, rta_len=0 !!!Deficit 16216, rta_len=25911 !!!Deficit 12288, rta_len=25144 !!!Deficit 2044, rta_len=24884 Moreover, many processes in the system got to 100% cpu use: sudo, cups-browser, ovs-vswitchd. I thing there should be some kind of limit on number of altnames...
