[Rpm] [Bloat] [Starlink] [LibreQoS] the grinch meets cloudflare'schristmas present

[MORTON JR., AL]

Dave and Luis,

Do you know if any of these tools are using ~random payloads, to defeat compression?

UDPST has a CLI option:
(m)    -X           Randomize datagram payload (else zeroes)

When I used this option testing shipboard satellite access, download was about 115kbps.
