[Bloat] qdisc traversing flows

[Matthias Tafelmeier]

Hallo,

since this ML has a strong qdisc oriented spin, I'd like to share what I
did end of last year. I was playing a little with BCC/eBPF and kernel
flow interfacing [1] ... excuses for the code quality, it was
prototyping, though ...

I can imagine reviving efforts as to fleutan, since I perceive many
usefel aspects as to flowing and associations of it are simply not
covered yet, at least no conveniently accessible from user land end and
not on from a per node angle. Especially the case for backend scenarios
with > thousands of flows. Quite some acre to be plowed if you asked me.
Feel free to prove me wrong. Mostly, I perceive quicker leaps are down
to mundane things like efficient, convenient diggestabilty of low level
kernel interfacing output ... e.g. iproute2. A lot of vibrant dymanics
are perceivable lately in this corner though - I'm applauding. [2][]

Until further progress, might to the merrit of some.
