Description
Plug A Simple Socket Transport
Long description
passt implements a translation layer between a Layer-2 network interface
and native Layer-4 sockets (TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo) on a host.
It doesn't require any capabilities or privileges, and it can be used as
a simple replacement for Slirp.
pasta (same binary as passt, different command) offers equivalent
functionality, for network namespaces: traffic is forwarded using a tap
interface inside the namespace, without the need to create further
interfaces on the host, hence not requiring any capabilities or
privileges.
