Additional information:
This is also required since I'm trying to simulate a star network with a
limited bandwidth on the router. And the packets gets routed through the
router only if their destination address is in the network 10.0.0.0/8.
Which means that currently, when host A connect to host B, the source
and destination addresses are in 172.18.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/8
respectively. Thus, the response packets from host B do not go through
the router. Which is quite bad.
