Doc Text:	.New package: `passt` This update adds the `passt` package, which makes it possible to use the `pasta` rootless networking back end for containers. In comparison to the `Slirp` connection, which is currently used as default for unprivileged networking by Podman, `pasta` provides the following enhancements: * Improved throughput and better support for IPv6, which includes support for the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and for DHCPv6 * The ability to configure port forwarding of TCP and UDP ports on IPv6 To use `pasta` to connect a Podman container, use the `--network pasta` command-line option.

Description Derrick Ornelas 2023-05-23 20:25:26 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2209149 +++

Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/9.2_release_notes/new-features#new-features-virtualization

Section Number and Name: 

Chapter 4 - New Features
 -> 4.17. Virtualization
  -> New package: passt

Describe the issue: 

The note has refereces to containers (podman), while inside the Virtualization section. 

Suggestions for improvement: 

Remove all references to containers and podman, this note should be virtualization only. Another note should be added in the containers section, with the relevant use for podman later - as a separate task.

Additional information:

New package: passt
