#148 introduced a new BPF map
TCP_CONNECTIONS
for tracking the state of TCP connections which is now used for all TCP traffic. UDP and ICMP traffic are still using theBLIXT_CONNTRACK
map. We should consolidate these two into one generic map structured in a way that satisfies the requirements for handling TCP, UDP and ICMP traffic. This would not only make the code more maintainable but also be a great improvement in general given the fact that we are operating in a memory constrained improvement.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
