    longDescription = ''

      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.
