netring 0.29.0

High-performance zero-copy packet I/O for Linux (AF_PACKET TPACKET_V3 + AF_XDP)
Documentation
//! Root-gated TX-timestamp test on `lo` (0.25 W3).
//!
//! Builds an `Injector` with `tx_timestamps(true)`, sends a frame on loopback,
//! and reads the **software** egress timestamp back off the socket error queue
//! (`SO_TIMESTAMPING` → `SCM_TIMESTAMPING`). Software TX timestamps are
//! generated on `lo`, so this validates the full enable → send → error-queue
//! read path without needing a timestamping NIC.
//!
//! Gated behind `integration-tests` + `tokio`; gracefully skips without
//! `CAP_NET_RAW`. Run under `sudo` in CI.
