Thread: make 2 lxc communicate through multiple virtual bridges

hi all.

need create 2 lxc s connected 2 different virtual briodges ( using "brctl") make them communicate through virtual network. done creation of bridges , connections ( using "ip link add" ) , have connected them. able develop custom application , run instance of attached each of bridges(using sysfs), , have traffic running through links.

issue/problem-1:
when comes communication between 2 lxc s ( lxc-1 ---- br1 ------ br2 --- lxc2 ) see communication not happening through link(s) created, , not through interface created after lxc-start. see traffic going through "any" , loop back(lo) seen through wireshark.

"route" displayes right interfaces ( in both container)
