Another limitation in lxc-container is that network interface (brlan0) cannot be created by process (gwprov_utopia) running inside container . Only host has permission to create network interface through host based process. This creates bottleneck for RDKB containerization, since it creates bridge interface (brlan0) for LAN

lo interface is used ( using loop back address 127.0.0.1 ) for the above mentioned IPC which is mapped into CcspPandM container as well

lxc has support to map interfaces in host to container. Once interface is created in host, it is reflected in CcspPandM too which can be bring to up state based on other events from gwprov_utopia running in ccsppandm container as well
