Description of problem:
After installed redhat 6.5, "ip netns list" does not work. I try to found the right netns package work with iproute-2.6.32-31.el6.x86_64 to support namespace, but got nothing. Relation bugs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014055. At last I uninstalled the preinstalled iproute, and reinstalled another old one to let it work.

How or where can I find a right netns package to let network namespace work with iproute-2.6.32-31.el6.x86_64 ? Does this package exist or something wrong with this package ?

The related bug #1014055 is about adding network namespace support into the Red Hat OpenStack product, while iproute-2.6.32-31.el6.x86_64 package is from current Red Hat Enterprise Linux product.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not support network namespaces, therefore "ip netns list" does not work there.

If you feel you need this new feature in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please contact our Red Hat support representative.

Which version does NEXTRELEASE mean, a major version (RHEL7) or a minor version (RHEL6.X)?

NEXTRELEASE means next major version, i.e. RHEL7.
