+      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.
