Description
# Feature Request
Allow firecracker to delegate VM networking to a userspace process. This can be highly beneficial in low privilege scenarios where `CAP_NET_ADMIN` is not available and makes VM config a lot faster (no iptables/nftables work required)
I would love to discuss any blockers you think might be present that may prevent this feature from being feasible
If there's not any, i'd be happy to work on a PR!
