In pasta mode, where addressing permits we "splice" connections, forwarding directly from host socket to guest/container socket without any L2 or L3 processing. This gives us a very large performance improvement when it's possible. Since the traffic is from a local socket within the guest, it will go over the guest's 'lo' interface, and accordingly we set the guest side address to be the loopback address. However this has a surprising side effect: sometimes guests will run services that are only supposed to be used within the guest and are therefore bound to only 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1. pasta's forwarding exposes those services to the host, which isn't generally what we want. Correct this by instead forwarding inbound "splice" flows to the guest's external address.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.SS passt
|
|
|
|
.B passt
|
|
(\fIP\fRlug \fIA\fR \fIS\fRimple \fIS\fRocket \fIT\fRransport) provides full,
|
|
quasi-native network connectivity to virtual machines in user-mode without
|
|
requiring any capabilities or privileges.
|
|
|
|
The data plane implements a translation layer between a Layer-2 virtual network
|
|
interface and native Layer-4 (TCP, UDP, ping) sockets on the host, giving the
|
|
illusion that application processes residing on the guest are running on the
|
|
local host, from a networking perspective.
|
|
|
|
Built-in ARP, DHCP, NDP, and DHCPv6 implementations are designed to provide the
|
|
guest with a network configuration that tightly resembles the host native
|
|
configuration. With the default options, guest and host share IP addresses,
|
|
routes, and port bindings.
|
|
|
|
Port forwarding and translation allow networking services running in the guest
|
|
to be reachable from both local and remote hosts.
|
|
|
|
Unlike \fBslirp4netns\fR(1), \fBpasst\fR doesn't implement a full TCP stack: the
|
|
TCP translation layer has no stateful data buffering and operates by reflecting
|
|
one peer's observed parameters (congestion window size, acknowledged data, etc.)
|
|
to the corresponding peer.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the only supported hypervisor is \fBqemu\fR(1), connecting to
|
|
\fBpasst\fR by means of a UNIX domain socket. This is supported starting from
|
|
qemu 7.2. For older qemu versions, see the \fBqrap\fR(1) wrapper.
|
|

.SS pasta

|
|
|
.B pasta
|
|
(\fIP\fRack \fIA\fR \fIS\fRubtle \fIT\fRap \fIA\fRbstraction) provides
|
|
equivalent functionality to network namespaces, as the one offered by
|
|
\fBpasst\fR for virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
If PID or --netns are given, \fBpasta\fR associates to an existing
|
|
user and network namespace. Otherwise, \fBpasta\fR creates a new user
|
|
and network namespace, and spawns the given command or a default shell
|
|
within this context. A \fItap\fR device within the network namespace
|
|
is created to provide network connectivity.
|
|
|
|
For local TCP and UDP traffic only, \fBpasta\fR also implements a bypass path
|
|
directly mapping Layer-4 sockets between \fIinit\fR and target namespaces,
|
|
for performance reasons.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted below, \fBif conflicting or multiple options are given,
|
|
the last one takes effect.\fR
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-d ", " \-\-debug
|
|
Be verbose, don't log to the system logger.
|
|
|
|
.TP

|
Be extra verbose, show single packets. Implies \fB--debug\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-q ", " \-\-quiet
|
|
Don't print informational messages.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-f ", " \-\-foreground
|
|
Don't run in background. This implies that the process is not moved to a
|
|
detached PID namespace after starting, because the PID itself cannot change.
|
|
Default is to fork into background.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-e ", " \-\-stderr " " (DEPRECATED)
|
|
This option has no effect, and is maintained for compatibility purposes only.
|
|
|
|
Note that this configuration option is \fBdeprecated\fR and will be removed in a
|
|
future version.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-l ", " \-\-log-file " " \fIPATH\fR
|
|
Log to file \fIPATH\fR, and not to the system logger.
|
|
|
|
Specifying this option multiple times does \fInot\fR lead to multiple log files:
|
|
the last given option takes effect.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-log-size " " \fISIZE\fR
|
|
Limit log file size to \fISIZE\fR bytes. When the log file is full, make room
|
|
for new entries by removing old ones at the beginning. This limit is mandatory.
|
|
Default is 1048576 (1 MiB).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-runas " " \fIUID\fR|\fIUID:GID\fR|\fILOGIN\fR|\fILOGIN:GROUP\fR
|
|
Attempt to change to given UID and corresponding group if UID is given,
|
|
or to given UID and given GID if both are given. Alternatively, login name, or
|
|
login name and group name can be passed. This requires privileges (either
|
|
initial effective UID 0 or CAP_SETUID capability) to work.
|
|
Default is to change to user \fInobody\fR if started as root.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
|
|
Display a help message and exit.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-version
|
|
Show version and exit.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-p ", " \-\-pcap " " \fIfile
|
|
Capture tap-facing (that is, guest-side or namespace-side) network packets to
|
|
\fIfile\fR in \fBpcap\fR format.
|
|
|
|
Specifying this option multiple times does \fInot\fR lead to multiple capture
|
|
files: the last given option takes effect.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-P ", " \-\-pid " " \fIfile
|
|
Write own PID to \fIfile\fR once initialisation is done, before forking to
|
|
background (if configured to do so).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-m ", " \-\-mtu " " \fImtu
|
|
Assign \fImtu\fR via DHCP (option 26) and NDP (option type 5). A zero value
|
|
disables assignment.
|
|
By default, the advertised MTU is 65520 bytes, that is, the maximum 802.3 MTU
|
|
minus the length of a 802.3 header, rounded to 32 bits (IPv4 words).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-a ", " \-\-address " " \fIaddr
|
|
Assign IPv4 \fIaddr\fR via DHCP (\fByiaddr\fR), or \fIaddr\fR via DHCPv6 (option
|
|
5) and an \fIaddr\fR-based prefix via NDP Router Advertisement (option type 3)
|
|
for an IPv6 \fIaddr\fR.
|
|
This option can be specified zero (for defaults) to two times (once for IPv4,
|
|
once for IPv6).
|
|
By default, assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are taken from the host interfaces
|
|
with the first default route, if any, for the corresponding IP version. If no
|
|
default routes are available and there is any interface with any route for a
|
|
given IP version, the first of these interfaces will be chosen instead.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-n ", " \-\-netmask " " \fImask
|
|
Assign IPv4 netmask \fImask\fR, expressed as dot-decimal or number of bits, via
|
|
DHCP (option 1).
|
|
By default, the netmask associated to the host address matching the assigned one
|
|
is used. If there's no matching address on the host, the netmask is determined
|
|
according to the CIDR block of the assigned address (RFC 4632).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-M ", " \-\-mac-addr " " \fIaddr
|
|
Use source MAC address \fIaddr\fR when communicating to the guest or to the
|
|
target namespace.
|
|
Default is to use the MAC address of the interface with the first IPv4 default
|
|
route on the host.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-g ", " \-\-gateway " " \fIaddr
|
|
Assign IPv4 \fIaddr\fR as default gateway via DHCP (option 3), or IPv6
|
|
\fIaddr\fR as source for NDP Router Advertisement and DHCPv6 messages.
|
|
This option can be specified zero (for defaults) to two times (once for IPv4,
|
|
once for IPv6).
|
|
By default, IPv4 and IPv6 gateways are taken from the host interface with the
|
|
first default route, if any, for the corresponding IP version. If the default
|
|
route is a multipath one, the gateway is the first nexthop router returned by
|
|
the kernel which has the highest weight in the set of paths. If no default
|
|
routes are available and there is just one interface with any route, that
|
|
interface will be chosen instead.
|
|
|
|
Note: these addresses are also used as source address for packets directed to
|
|
the guest or to the target namespace having a loopback or local source address,
|
|
to allow mapping of local traffic to guest and target namespace. See the
|
|
\fBNOTES\fR below for more details about this mechanism.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-i ", " \-\-interface " " \fIname
|
|
Use host interface \fIname\fR to derive addresses and routes.
|
|
Default is to use the interfaces specified by \fB--outbound-if4\fR and
|
|
\fB--outbound-if6\fR, for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and routes, respectively.
|
|
|
|
If no interfaces are given, the interface with the first default routes for each
|
|
IP version is selected. If no default routes are available and there is just one
|
|
interface with any route, that interface will be chosen instead.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-o ", " \-\-outbound " " \fIaddr
|
|
Use an IPv4 \fIaddr\fR as source address for IPv4 outbound TCP connections, UDP
|
|
flows, ICMP requests, or an IPv6 \fIaddr\fR for IPv6 ones, by binding outbound
|
|
sockets to it.
|
|
This option can be specified zero (for defaults) to two times (once for IPv4,
|
|
once for IPv6).
|
|
By default, the source address is selected by the routing tables.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-outbound-if4 " " \fIname
|
|
Bind IPv4 outbound sockets to host interface \fIname\fR, and, unless another
|
|
interface is specified via \fB-i\fR, \fB--interface\fR, use this interface to
|
|
derive IPv4 addresses and routes.
|
|
|
|
By default, the interface given by the default route is selected. If no default
|
|
routes are available and there is just one interface with any route, that
|
|
interface will be chosen instead.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-\-outbound-if6 " " \fIname
|
|
Bind IPv6 outbound sockets to host interface \fIname\fR, and, unless another
|
|
interface is specified via \fB-i\fR, \fB--interface\fR, use this interface to
|
|
derive IPv6 addresses and routes.
|
|
|
|
By default, the interface given by the default route is selected. If no default
|

routes are available and there is just one interface with any route, that
|
|
interface will be chosen instead.
|

.BR \-D ", " \-\-dns " " \fIaddr
|
|
Instruct the guest (via DHCP, DHVPv6 or NDP) to use \fIaddr\fR (IPv4
|
|
or IPv6) as a nameserver, as configured (see options
|
|
\fB--no-dhcp-dns\fR, \fB--dhcp-dns\fR) instead of reading addresses
|
|
from \fI/etc/resolv.conf\fR. This option can be specified multiple
|
|
times. Specifying \fB-D none\fR disables usage of DNS addresses
|
|
altogether. Unlike addresses from \fI/etc/resolv.conf\fR, \fIaddr\fR
|
|
is given to the guest without remapping. For example \fB--dns
|
|
127.0.0.1\fR will instruct the guest to use itself as nameserver, not
|
|
the host.
|

nameserver (with corresponding IP version) specified by the
|
|
\fB\-\-dns-host\fR option. Maps only UDP and TCP traffic to port 53 or
|
|
port 853. Replies are translated back with a reverse mapping. This

option can be specified zero to two times (once for IPv4, once for
|
|
IPv6).

|
.SS Handling of traffic with loopback destination and source addresses
|
|
|
|
Both \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR can bind on ports with a loopback
|
|
address (127.0.0.0/8 or ::1), depending on the configuration. Loopback
|
|
destination or source addresses need to be changed before packets are
|
|
delivered to the guest or target namespace: most operating systems
|
|
would drop packets received with loopback addresses on non-loopback
|
|
interfaces, and it would also be impossible for guest or target
|
|
namespace to route answers back.
|
|
|
|
For convenience, the source address on these packets is translated to
|
|
the address specified by the \fB\-\-map-host-loopback\fR option (with
|
|
some exceptions in pasta mode, see next section below). If not
|
|
specified this defaults, somewhat arbitrarily, to the address of
|
|
default IPv4 or IPv6 gateway (if any) -- this is known to be an
|
|
existing, valid address on the same subnet. If \fB\-\-no-map-gw\fR or
|
|
\fB\-\-map-host-loopback none\fR are specified this translation is
|
|
disabled and packets with loopback addresses are simply dropped.
|
|
|
|
Loopback destination addresses are translated to the observed external
|
|
address of the guest or target namespace. For IPv6, the observed
|
|
link-local address is used if the translated source address is
|
|
link-local, otherwise the observed global address is used. For both
|
|
IPv4 and IPv6, if no addresses have been seen yet, the configured
|
|
addresses will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
For example, if \fBpasst\fR or \fBpasta\fR receive a connection from 127.0.0.1,
|
|
with destination 127.0.0.10, and the default IPv4 gateway is 192.0.2.1, while
|
|
the last observed source address from guest or namespace is 192.0.2.2, this will
|
|
be translated to a connection from 192.0.2.1 to 192.0.2.2.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, for traffic coming from guest or namespace, packets with
|
|
destination address corresponding to the \fB\-\-map-host-loopback\fR
|
|
address will have their destination address translated to a loopback
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
.SS Handling of local traffic in pasta
|
|
|
|
Depending on the configuration, \fBpasta\fR can bind to local ports in the init
|
|
namespace, in the target namespace, or both, and forward connections and packets
|
|
to corresponding ports in the other namespace.
|
|
|
|
To avoid unnecessary overhead, these connections and packets are not forwarded
|
|
through the tap device connecting the namespaces: \fBpasta\fR creates a socket
|
|
in the destination namespace, with matching Layer-4 protocol, and uses it to
|
|
forward local data. For TCP, data is forwarded between the originating socket
|
|
and the new socket using the \fBsplice\fR(2) system call, and for UDP, a pair
|
|
of \fBrecvmmsg\fR(2) and \fBsendmmsg\fR(2) system calls deals with packet
|
|
transfers.
|
|
|
|
Because it's not possible to bind sockets to foreign addresses, this
|
|
bypass only applies to local connections and traffic. It also means
|
|
that the address translation differs slightly from passt mode.
|
|
Connections from loopback to loopback on the host will appear to come
|
|
from the target namespace's public address within the guest, unless
|
|
\fB\-\-host-lo-to-ns-lo\fR is specified, in which case they will
|
|
appear to come from loopback in the namespace as well. The latter
|
|
behaviour used to be the default, but is usually undesirable, since it
|
|
can unintentionally expose namespace local services to the host.
|
|
|
|
.SS Binding to low numbered ports (well-known or system ports, up to 1023)
|
|
|
|
If the port forwarding configuration requires binding to ports with numbers
|
|
lower than 1024, \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR will try to bind to them, but will
|
|
fail, unless, either:
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
the \fIsys.net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start\fR sysctl is set to the number
|
|
of the lowest port \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR need. For example, as root:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=443
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
\fBNote\fR: this is the recommended way of enabling \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR
|
|
to bind to ports with numbers below 1024.
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
or the \fICAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE\fR Linux capability is granted, see
|
|
\fBservices\fR(5) and \fBcapabilities\fR(7).
|
|
|
|
This is, in general, \fBnot the recommended way\fR, because \fBpasst\fR and
|
|
\fBpasta\fR might be used as vector to effectively use this capability from
|
|
another process.
|
|
|
|
However, if your environment is sufficiently controlled by an LSM (Linux
|
|
Security Module) such as \fIAppArmor\fR, \fISELinux\fR, \fISmack\fR or
|
|
\fITOMOYO\fR, and no other processes can interact in such a way in virtue of
|
|
this, granting this capability to \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR only can
|
|
effectively prevent other processes from utilising it.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not work for automatic detection and forwarding of ports
|
|
with \fBpasta\fR, because \fBpasta\fR will relinquish this capability at
|
|
runtime.
|
|
|
|
To grant this capability, you can issue, as root:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
for p in $(which passt passt.avx2); do
|
|
setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' "${p}"
|
|

.SS ICMP/ICMPv6 Echo sockets
|
|
|
|
ICMP and ICMPv6 Echo requests coming from guest or target namespace are handled
|
|
using so-called "ping" sockets, introduced in Linux 2.6.30. To preserve the
|
|
original identifier (see RFC 792, page 14, for ICMP, and RFC 4443, section 4.1,
|
|
for ICMPv6), \fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR try to bind these sockets using the
|
|
observed source identifier as "port" -- that corresponds to Echo identifiers
|
|
for "ping" sockets.
|
|
|
|
As \fBbind\fR(2) failures were seen with particularly restrictive SELinux
|
|
policies, a fall-back mechanism maps different identifiers to different sockets,
|
|
and identifiers in replies will be mapped back to the original identifier of the
|
|
request. However, if \fBbind\fR(2) fails and the fall-back mechanism is used,
|
|
echo requests will be forwarded with different, albeit unique, identifiers.
|
|
|
|
For ICMP and ICMPv6 Echo requests to work, the \fIping_group_range\fR parameter
|
|
needs to include the PID of \fBpasst\fR or \fBpasta\fR, see \fBicmp\fR(7).
|
|
|
|
.SS pasta and loopback interface
|
|
|
|
As \fBpasta\fR connects to an existing namespace, or once it creates a new
|
|
namespace, it will also ensure that the loopback interface, \fIlo\fR, is brought
|
|
up. This is needed to bind ports using the loopback address in the namespace.
|
|
|
|
.SS TCP sending window and \fITCP_INFO\fB before Linux 5.3
|
|
|
|
To synchronise the TCP sending window from host Layer-4 sockets to the TCP
|
|
parameters announced in TCP segments sent over the Layer-2 interface,
|
|
\fBpasst\fR and \fBpasta\fR routinely query the size of the sending window seen
|
|
by the kernel on the corresponding socket using the \fITCP_INFO\fR socket
|
|
option, see \fBtcp\fR(7). Before Linux 5.3, i.e. before Linux kernel commit
|
|
8f7baad7f035 ("tcp: Add snd_wnd to TCP_INFO"), the sending window
|
|
(\fIsnd_wnd\fR field) is not available.
|
|
|
|
If the sending window cannot be queried, it will always be announced as the
|
|
current sending buffer size to guest or target namespace. This might affect
|
|
throughput of TCP connections.
|
|
|
|
.SH LIMITATIONS
|
|
|
|
Currently, IGMP/MLD proxying (RFC 4605) and support for SCTP (RFC 4960) are not
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
TCP Selective Acknowledgment (RFC 2018), as well as Protection Against Wrapped
|
|
Sequences (PAWS) and Round-Trip Time Measurement (RTTM), both described by RFC
|
|
7232, are currently not implemented.
