As of now, the code is just a proof of concept for achieving higher throughput than what currently available tools (e.g., nping/hping3) are capable of. Other than that, nping is just too slow, and hping3 has not been updated in 12 years; in any case, both of them lack proper support for "newer" TCP/IP features (e.g., DSCP/ECN instead of IP ToS, or TCP Options in general). I am currently in the process of re-writing this proof of concept to actually become a full-fledged alternative to those tools. At first, I was planning to fork hping3 as to maintain it, but its code just had too many questionable design choices; there were global variables and unnecessary function calls all over the place. |
