I can confirm that it works but there is still an issue.Thanks for having a look!The first ICMP package is always dropped: $ podman run --net=pasta alpine ping -c 2 192.168.188.1 PING 192.168.188.1 (192.168.188.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.188.1: seq=1 ttl=42 time=0.550 ms --- 192.168.188.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 50% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.550/0.550/0.550 ms This is a problem in pasta (it works from my host and with slirp4nents), I also see the reply on the host with tcpdump: listening on enp9s0u2u1u2, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes 14:41:09.457147 IP 192.168.188.22 > 192.168.188.1: ICMP echo request, id 31, seq 0, length 64 14:41:09.457481 IP 192.168.188.1 > 192.168.188.22: ICMP echo reply, id 31, seq 0, length 64 14:41:10.456972 IP 192.168.188.22 > 192.168.188.1: ICMP echo request, id 31, seq 1, length 64 14:41:10.457339 IP 192.168.188.1 > 192.168.188.22: ICMP echo reply, id 31, seq 1, length 64This difference is due to the fact that pasta allows any IP address to be used by the container, and it will learn that on the first packet. I see the same exact behaviour. We might be able to improve this, but I'm not entirely sure. To make sure I have the right "problem" in mind, would you mind sharing a packet capture (including ARP requests) from the container side? That would be --net=pasta,-p,your.pcap. Thanks, -- Stefano
