Description

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to use Ethr to send some tcp traffic across two machines. one is running Centos and the other is running RHEL.
Actually I'm unable to get Ethr to run on the RHEL machine.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86_64 (mockbuild@x86-vm-07.build.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5) (GCC)) #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 03:12:15 EST 2021
[root@localhost ~]#

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported failure on RHEL 8.3 using the kernel and GCC details in the issue, then capture the exact Ethr command and error output. Compare the result with CentOS and document the relevant compatibility problem; done means Ethr can run and send TCP traffic on RHEL, or the limitation is clearly identified.
