Interface Proxy

cmd/docker-proxy/proxy_linux.go:20–26

Proxy defines the behavior of a proxy. It forwards traffic back and forth between two endpoints : the frontend and the backend. It can be used to do software port-mapping between two addresses. e.g. forward all traffic between the frontend (host) 127.0.0.1:3000 to the backend (container) at 172.17.4

// e.g. forward all traffic between the frontend (host) 127.0.0.1:3000
// to the backend (container) at 172.17.42.108:4000.
type Proxy interface {
	// Run starts forwarding traffic back and forth between the front
	// and back-end addresses.
	Run()
	// Close stops forwarding traffic and close both ends of the Proxy.
	Close()
}
