Subject: [PATCH 3/6] examples/l2fwd-keepalive: use rte_drand_max
Date: Fri,  1 Mar 2024 09:57:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240301175842.159967-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240301175842.159967-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

There is a better way than using rand() to compute a random interval.
