1:1 mapping of host side NICs into a container

You might want - i.e for testing purpose - map all your host sided NICs into your container.

There are several ways to do this, one way is to use macvlans.

This small script map-nics.sh can be used to map all host sided NIcs matching a glob expression into a given container.

This simply works by creating a macvlan device on the host side and then move it into the network namespace of the container.
