[Bloat] Re: links to work that supersedes pping?

Nice, thanks for the additional tools and source for the epping, guys.

Last but not least, here's LibreQoS' take on pping:
https://github.com/LibreQoE/LibreQoS/tree/main/src/rust/lqos_sys/src/bpf/common

We are just hoping that nobody is upset that we took a butcher's knife to
the really correct pping code :-)


All the best,

Frank
