This option enables lxd, a daemon that manages
containers. Users in the "lxd" group can interact with
the daemon (e.g. to start or stop containers) using the
lxc command line tool, among others.
Most of the time, you'll also want to start lxcfs, so
that containers can "see" the limits:
virtualisation.lxc.lxcfs.enable = true;
'';

"neighbour: ndisc_cache: neighbor table overflow!".
