This article aims to explain what Rackspace ServiceNet is and how it is used.
Rackspace ServiceNet is a free service offered by Rackspace that allows for free, quick and efficient transfers between Rackspace Cloud Servers and Rackspace Cloud Files. It's a complimentary service offered by Rackspace, and it should be enabled on any new/existing Rackspace accounts by default.
NOTE: Some extremely old Rackspace accounts may need to have this service enabled. In order to do so, you may need to contact Rackspace directly to get this feature enabled on your account.
Rackspace accomplishes this by using it's Cloud server's internal IP address/interface. This interface can be found fairly easily using a Linux or Windows cloud server -
ifconfig eth1
export RACKSPACE_SERVICENET=True
