A talented student could pull it off, especially if integrating lwip or
uip instead of writing from scratch.  It would be important to have a
list of requirements and clear plan so that if they are unable to
complete it fully, we still have a basic but working implementation to
build on.

But it's a lot of work to make it feature-complete and comparable to
slirp.

Current feature set:

 * UDPv4 NAT
 * TCPv4 NAT
 * ICMP for virtual interfaces (host, DNS, SAMBA)
 * DNS integration
 * DHCP integration
 * TFTP integration
 * UDPv4 port forwarding
 * TCPv4 port forwarding
 * SAMBA integration
