I suspect that if you are going to use the hosting partition as a router it will need to be configured as one - an address the WPAR can ping directly - maybe another alias on the 'host' and also set ipforwarding using
no -o ipforwarding=1 (as root in the host/global AIX area).
p.s. when wparname is resolveable to a hostname AND the hostname is in the same IP network as the global (single-homed/single-IP network) environment mkwpar will fill the WPAR netstat info with a copy of the global partition routing information. When you have a multi-homed global partition you must fill this yourself. Historically (i.e., back in 2007 when WPAR first saw light of day) WPAR's had to be in the same network as the global partition. The flexibility of being able to configure to any network means you have to setup your own routing tables - as mentioned above by agent.kgb

seems to be WPAR is quite easy to set up..without additional licenses..
If I don't need Linux and all my legacy and new apps are happy in AIX 7.1 (the latest OS), I could save all troubles and use WPAR.
Can someone comment on this ??

iprsetup
iprsetup(8) System Manager's Manual iprsetup(8)
NAME
iprsetup - Internet Protocol router setup
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -s
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -sd
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -r
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -rd
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalue
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalued
/usr/sbin/iprsetup -d
OPTIONS
Sets ipforwarding and ipgateway to one, which means the system functions as an IP router. This option cannot be combined with the -r
option. Resets ipforwarding and ipgateway to zero, which means the system does not function as an IP router. This option cannot be com-
bined with the -s and -f options. Sets ipforwarding and ipgateway to one (like the -s option), and also sets ipfirewall to one, which
means the system functions as an IP firewall. Additionally, sets ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects according to the specified value. The fol-
lowing table shows the valid values and their meaning:
----------------------------------------------------------
Value Meaning
----------------------------------------------------------
0 Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to zero
1 Sets ipsrcroute to zero and ipchkredirects to one
2 Sets ipsrcroute to one and ipchkredirects to zero
3 Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to one
----------------------------------------------------------
This option cannot be combined with the -r option. Only application gateways for firewall services use this option. Displays the
values of ipforwarding and ipgateway. The values are displayed after the values are changed when combined with the -s, -r, and -f
options.
DESCRIPTION
The iprsetup command sets the ipgateway and ipforwarding variables in the running kernel allowing your system to function as an Internet
Protocol router.
When ipfirewall variable is set to one, the following variables are also set: Indicates whether IP source-routed packets are accepted (1)
or dropped immediately (0). Indicates whether ICMP Redirect messages are authenticated (1) or accepted with no authentication (0).
The iprsetup command is automatically executed by netsetup when you configure your network daemons. It is also executed by the
/sbin/init.d/inet script when you reboot your system or restart the network on your system.
