I think even packets are a network construct. End/end protocols don't write
packets.  They mostly make writes() and reads and have no clue about
packets. Except for, of course, UDP which you know everything about being
the original designer.

Agreed the telemetry is most interesting and a huge void. Curious to more
of your thoughts on it, metrics, etc.

Note: iperf 2 has write to read latencies. It requires clock sync. My
systems sync to the GPS atomic as the commonNote/ reference. I think
end/end queue depths can be calculated per Little's law (shown below per
inP.) https://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf2/
