From e24f0262229a1f9c673dca3452ad103cbe06b866 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Maloy Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2024 13:36:45 -0500 Subject: pasta: make it possible to disable socket splicing During testing it is sometimes useful to force traffic which would normally be forwared by socket splicing through the tap interface. In this commit, we add a command switch enabling such funtionality for inbound local traffic. For outbound local traffic this is much trickier, if even possible, so leave that for a later commit.
