Hi Ravi ,

I would suggest ,

[1] Use Ubuntu cloud images from "
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/" , so you can do ssh login
and enable ipv4 forwarding  by changing "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" in file
/etc/sysctl.conf

[2]  In case of basic cirros image  please add some static route as  Jim
suggested  or run some simple c socket program using gcc to forward packets.

Thanks.,
Mohankumar.N
