Expose network namespace created by Docker

Expose network namespace created by Docker Disclaimer: this is probably *not* the best way for doing this, but it's pretty good for educational purposes. During a debug session I wanted to connect an application to a service tha ran in a docker container. This was for test-purposes only, so hackish and fast are the keywords. First of all, I'm not a Docker expert, but I've a pretty good understanding on Linux internals, namespaces and how things works on a Linux system.

Loopback with two (physical) ethernet interfaces

Loopback with two (physical) ethernet interfaces Imagine that you have an embedded device with two physical ethernet ports. You want to verify the functionality of both these ports in the manufacturing process, so you connect an ethernet cable between the ports, setup IP addresses and now what? As Linux (actually the default network namespace) is aware of the both adapters and their IP/MAC-addresses, the system see no reason to send any traffic out. cover
