If you create the docker network as a macvlan type network, the container’s interface will be directly connected to the same switch your host is plugged into. Essentially making it the same as a physical linux machine plugged directly into your network. Pretty good primer on docker networking (I swear that guy is not me): 


Host network type would also work well since it would make the collector’s container have the same IP address and mac as the host machine, which is the closest analog to just running it on the host.
