Description

Currently there is no CNI plugin that supports port mapping. Given that the unified containerizer is starting to become the de-facto container run time, having a CNI plugin that provides port mapping is a must have. This is primarily required for support BRIDGE networking mode, similar to docker bridge networking that users expect to have when using docker containers.

While the most obvious use case is that of using the port-mapper plugin with the bridge plugin, the port-mapping functionality itself is generic and should be usable with any CNI plugin that needs it.

Keeping port-mapping as a CNI plugin gives operators the ability to use the default port-mapper (CNI plugin) that Mesos provides, or use their own plugin.
