What about having the veth's in separate VRF's inside the netns's?

Do you need the full BGP features on the Unix socket, or just a pipe-like transport? Not promising now that I'll implement it soon, just trying to define the feature request, yet it should be quite easy to create.

 Hello,

 We want to use bird with different namespaces too, but proposed
 changes is not an option for us anyway because of somewhat proprietary
 kernel we are working with (there are some missing definitions for
 namespaces in headers and vanilla does not fit). So we are also
 thinking about several instances of bird as Maria Jan Matějka
 suggests. But we need to find some way to interconnect them. But we
 think creating a veth interface is not a best option for us.

 Why not?

We do not want direct routing between namespaces. And also add some
additional interfaces - it is a hardware switch, so it could disturb
something. But may be not. This could be an option too. I just wrote
that it could be not the best one. We have not tested yet, just
considering possibilities.
