This test runs a simple ingress tc setup between two veth pairs,
then adds a egress->ingress rule to test the chaining of tc ingress
pipeline to tc egress piepline.

You just need to establish a TCP connection towards a given IP, right?

Than you can use the existing self-tests program:

# listener:
./udpgso_bench_rx -t &

# client:
./udpgso_bench_tx -t -l <transfer time> -4  -D <listener IP>

and avoid dependencies on external tools.

Please use the modern 'ip addr' syntax. More importantly, it's better
if you move both peers in separate netns, to avoid 'random' self-test
failure due to the specific local routing configuration.

I have one of the peers outside a namespace because I needed the egress 
tc rule to see both devices.

Besides that I will change as requested, Thanks.

Additionally you could pick addresses from tests blocks (192.0.2.0/24,
198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24) or at least from private ranges.

Please use 'ip link' ...

Depending on the timing, the server can create the listener socket
after that the client tried to connect, causing random failures.

You should introduce some explicit, small, delay to give the server the
time to start-up, e.g.:

# start server
sleep 0.2
# start client


Thanks!
