# Host Port Manager

The Host Port Managers maps ports from the Host to the specified Container Port.
It can also specify the Host IP that should be mapped to the container IP.
For security reasons, it also opens a socket in the host to avoid any process in the system
that could interfere with the traffic that is being port mapped.

This code is copied from the kubernetes/kubernetes repo
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/41533ecec8966636554faba44368a36d5d6c5347/pkg/kubelet/dockershim/network/hostport.
Since Kubernetes started the deprecation of that part of the code in
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94624, it is missing some fixes and the features required to operate correctly in dual stack environments.

The kubernetes/kubernetes repo has a fix where the host port manager always opens a socket in all addresses, instead of leveraging the HostIP field:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94382

The current implementation only maps ports for the first IP of each IP family obtained from the CNI results.
