Accepting a Hosted Private Virtual Interface
Another OUTSCALE user can request the creation of a private virtual interface hosted in your account. This enables you, as the grantee, to use the DirectLink connection of the other user to access one of your Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs).
As the grantee, you must accept this request of creation of a private virtual interface before you can use it. You then become the owner of the private virtual interface. If it is not accepted, the private virtual interface cannot forward traffic, and expires after 7 days.
When accepting, you must specify a virtual private gateway to attach to the private virtual interface.
For more information about private virtual interfaces, see About DirectLink > DirectLink Connections and Private Virtual Interfaces.
