Configuration for an outbound packet sending worker.

This struct holds all the parameters needed to initialize and run a worker that generates and sends measurement probes (e.g., ICMP, DNS, TCP) at a specified rate.

Fields

worker_id: u16

The unique ID of this specific worker.

tx_origins: Vec<Origin>

A list of source addresses and port values (Origin) to send probes from.

abort_s: Arc<AtomicBool>

A shared signal that can be used to forcefully shut down the worker.

E.g., when the CLI has abruptly disconnected.

is_ipv6: bool

Specifies whether to send IPv6 packets (true) or IPv4 packets (false).

is_symmetric: bool

Indicates if this is a latency measurement.

m_id: u32

The unique ID of the measurement.

m_type: u8

The type of probe to send (e.g., 1 for ICMP, 2 for DNS/A, 3 for TCP).

qname: String

The domain name to query in DNS measurement probes.

info_url: String

An informational URL to be embedded in the probe’s payload (e.g., an opt-out link).

if_name: String

The name of the network interface to send packets from (e.g., “eth0”).

probing_rate: u32

The target rate for sending probes, measured in packets per second (pps).
