And how these drivers choose NNN? Do QEMU driver and LXC driver use the same
NNN?

Now openvz driver chooses not interface name in host, but interface name in
container.
(If you specify contaner-ifname, say, vnet4, you get host-ifname
veth$veid.4.)
So first we need to decide: is container-ifname derivative from host-ifname
or vice versa :)
