Yes it's good idea and nicely executed.

For the same reason I created a couple of projects with the same goal of lowering the barrier to entry to the linux kernel:

- an app to follow the UDP packet flow in the linux kernel source code: https://dmkskd.github.io/linux-kernel-network-stack-visualiz...

- a (hopefully) simple way to play with the linux kernel source code on a mac: https://github.com/dmkskd/linux-kernel-debugging-on-mac

Kudos to https://github.com/FlorentRevest for all his work in the space

I love your UDP packet flow tool, kudos for making that! I've always wondered how packets move through an OS. Also interesting how many gotos I see all over the place, even though everyone says "goto is the devil". Then again maybe this code was written long before that "proverb" came into existence.
