We have an embedded system that we're working through getting NetworkManager set up on. There's a mode of operation we'd like to explore, and I'm wondering if NM has such capabilities 'built-in': Imagine two units - both have Ethernet and are on the same LAN subnet; internet connectivity for them is NAT'd via a ADSL router/modem or such-like, using the Ethernet. But Unit A also has a GSM modem, and if the ADSL goes down then it can switch over to use GSM for Internet. What we'd like is, if the ADSL goes down, that Unit B can open 'some sort of tunnel' to Unit A and have its traffic 'bridged in some way' to Unit A and then to/from the internet via Unit A's GSM connection. It would want to be secure i.e. only Unit B could use Unit A, not anyone on the LAN.
I use the words 'relay'/'tunnel'/'bridged' in a *generic* sense, as they often imply specific mechanisms. Is this something that NM can provide and manage...?
