PROBE::NETDEV.RX(3stap)

💖 probe::netdev.rx — the Networking Tapset's main character 💖

okay bestie, welcome to probe::netdev.rx, straight out of the Networking Tapset (that's the 3stap manual, iykyk). she's a probe point, and she shows up the moment a device is about to receive a packet. not after, not later — when it's going to. the anticipation. the tension. the packet. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

probe::netdev.rx — literally "Called when the device is going to receive a packet". that's the whole vibe. she is the girl standing at the door going "oop, something's coming" 📬

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🎀 VALUES 🎀

• dev_name — the device that received the packet. yes, received, that's what the original says, don't come for me. this is the who. the device. the main character of the moment. 👑
• protocol — the packet protocol. the what-kind-of-packet energy. 🔥
