Marcos patch as I understand it, also addresses the application of having clean and separate ip stacks in each jail. The current jail implementation has to use ugly hacks to give correct semantics to things like INADDR_ANY. We also currently do not have a clean way of associating multiple ipv4 addresses to jail and having correct sematics for INADDR_ANY. And of course IPv6 for jails is something that could propably be solved in a very clean way using virtual ip stacks as in Marcos patch. For above reasons I would prefer a clean implementation of full network stack virtualisation to something that justs adds names to interfaces.
