Hi Eric, Thanks for a detailed reply. Sorry I couldn't reply as I was completely bed ridden. In order for me to try this, I require few inputs (as I am new to all this)... 1. How do I register in Kernel, that my eBPF program should be called? Is this https://netdevconf.info/1.1/proceedings/papers/On-getting-tc-classifier-fully-programmable-with-cls-bpf.pdf and http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-bpf.8.html correct documents ? 2. Some info with respect to EDT and skb->tstamp and how things work.
