Module bidirectional 

Bidirectional path probing for detecting reverse-path asymmetry

This module provides tools to measure both forward and reverse network paths, which is essential for diagnosing ECMP asymmetry where packets take different paths in each direction.

Architecture

[Client]  ──forward probes──>  [Server]
          <──reverse probes──

The server echoes probes with embedded timestamps, allowing the client to measure latency in both directions independently.
