-On Linux, SYN/ACK sniffing for `--fake-autottl` now uses AF_PACKET RxRing instead of nftables-based filtering. This removes the extra nftables rules that were needed for SYN/ACK capture and should be more efficient. On Windows, WinDivert is now opened as separate recv/send/sniff handles, and the sniff thread is only spawned when `--fake-autottl` is actually enabled.
+Performance improvement due to packet sniffing backend changes.
-Other changes: Windows exits immediately on Ctrl-C instead of waiting for cleanup, logging defers `local_time()` until the log level check passes, and `infer_hops` now correctly uses 128 (was 126). Various internal refactoring for consistency.
+On Linux, SYN/ACK sniffing for `--fake-autottl` now uses AF_PACKET RxRing instead of nftables-based filtering. Packets are read via mmap'd ring buffer with zero copy from kernel to userspace, replacing the extra nftables rules that were needed for SYN/ACK capture.

+On Windows, packet handling is now multi-threaded with separate recv/send/sniff paths, while sniff thread is only spawned when `--fake-autottl` is actually enabled.
