Synopsis
passt bug fix update
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.
Bug Fix(es):
* [Pasta] TCP keepalive causes connection reset [rhel-9.5.z] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-68948)
* Poor Performance with Pasta for rootless container when compared with slirp4netns [rhel-9.5.z] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-73251)
* pasta fails to associate container packets to existing flow, connection data is discarded [rhel-9.5.z] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-74301)
* Issues with Camel-Quarkus Integration in Podman Container Post-Upgrade (Podman 4.9 → 5.2) based on Pasta networking [rhel-9.5.z] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-75645)
