As far as I see, vserver use a layer 3 solution but, when needed, the
veth "component", made by Nestor Pena, is used to provide a layer 2
virtualization. Right ?

Having the two solutions, you have certainly a lot if information about
use cases. From the point of view of vserver, can you give some examples
of when a layer 3 solution is better/worst than a layer 2 solution ? Who
wants a layer 2/3 virtualization and why ?

These informations will be very useful.

Regards
