Source: passt Section: net Priority: optional Maintainer: Stefano Brivio Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), dh-apparmor Rules-Requires-Root: no Standards-Version: 4.6.2 Homepage: https://passt.top/ Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/sbrivio/passt Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/sbrivio/passt.git Package: passt Architecture: any Multi-Arch: foreign Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: apparmor Description: user-mode networking daemons for virtual machines and namespaces 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.
