The test_local_dnat_portonly() function initiates the client-side as soon as it sets the listening side to the background. This could lead to a race condition where the server may not be ready to listen. To ensure that the server-side is up and running before initiating the client-side, a delay is introduced to the test_local_dnat_portonly() function.

Before the fix: # ./nft_nat.sh PASS: netns routing/connectivity: ns0-rthlYrBU can reach ns1-rthlYrBU and ns2-rthlYrBU PASS: ping to ns1-rthlYrBU was ip NATted to ns2-rthlYrBU PASS: ping to ns1-rthlYrBU OK after ip nat output chain flush PASS: ipv6 ping to ns1-rthlYrBU was ip6 NATted to ns2-rthlYrBU 2023/02/27 04:11:03 socat[6055] E connect(5, AF=2 10.0.1.99:2000, 16): Connection refused ERROR: inet port rewrite

After the fix: # ./nft_nat.sh PASS: netns routing/connectivity: ns0-9sPJV6JJ can reach ns1-9sPJV6JJ and ns2-9sPJV6JJ PASS: ping to ns1-9sPJV6JJ was ip NATted to ns2-9sPJV6JJ PASS: ping to ns1-9sPJV6JJ OK after ip nat output chain flush PASS: ipv6 ping to ns1-9sPJV6JJ was ip6 NATted to ns2-9sPJV6JJ PASS: inet port rewrite without l3 address
