Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fwd_rule: Parse target addresses for forwarding rules
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 17:32:14 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702073215.751291-2-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702073215.751291-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Extend the parsing of forwarding rules (-[tu]) to allow the destination
address on the target side to be specified.  For now just parse them, and
give an error if we try to create rules with a specified target address.
We'll implement the actual forwarding logic in another patch.

Format (for either command line or pesto):
      -t 2222:192.0.2.1/2222

This should work along with all the other bits, that is, say:
      -t 192.0.2.1%eth0/2222-2225:192.0.2.2/22-25

FIXME: Ban for -[TU] for now
FIXME: Check interaction with splice handling

 parsing helpers]
