Based on Stefano's recent patch for faster
tests.
Allow the user to specify which addresses are translated when used by
the guest, rather than always being the gateway address or nothing.
We also allow this remapping to go to the host's global address (more
precisely the address assigned to the guest) rather than just host
loopback.
Suggestions for better names for the new options in patches 20 & 22
are most welcome.
Along the way to implementing that make many changes to clarify what
various addresses we track mean, fixing a number of small bugs as
well.
NOTE: there is a bug in 21/22 which breaks some of the passt_tcp perf
tests. I haven't managed to figure out why it's causing the problem,
or even what the exact triggering conditions are (running the single
stalling iperf alone doesn't do it). Have to wrap up for today, so I
thought I'd get this out for review anyway.
Paul, amongst other things, I think this will allow podman to
(finally) nicely address #19213, picking an address to remap to the
host's external address with --nat-guest-addr, much like it already
uses --dns-forward.
Thanks this looks promising. I will try to test it out next week.
No strong feelings about the naming but how about s/--nat/--map/ for the
options?
