Multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer

Edit Package socat
http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/

socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file,
pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX,
IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a
file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor, a program, or a
combination of two of these.

    * Experimental socks5 client feature
    * Address ACCEPT-FD for systemd "inetd" mode
    * UDP-Lite and DCCP address types
    * Addresses SOCKETPAIR and SHELL
    * New option bind-tmpname allows forked off children to bind UNIX domain client sockets to random unique pathes
    * New option retrieve-vlan (with INTERFACE addresses) now makes kernel keep VLAN tags in incoming packets
    * Simple statistics output with Socat option --statistics and with SIGUSR1
    * A couple of new options, many fixes and corrections, see file CHANGES
