MITM capture showed MikroTik sends all-zero TCP data streams.
Our server was setting packet[0]=0x07 (STATUS_MSG_TYPE), which
MikroTik rejected. TCP mode has no status headers — just raw
zero-filled data streams in both directions.
Fixed in both server and client TCP TX loops.

Full reimplementation of the MikroTik Bandwidth Test protocol:
- Server mode: accepts connections from MikroTik devices on port 2000
- Client mode: connects to MikroTik btest servers
- TCP and UDP protocols with bidirectional support
- MD5 challenge-response authentication
- Dynamic speed adjustment (1.5x algorithm)
- Status exchange matching original C pselect() behavior
- Docker support with multi-stage build
Tested against MikroTik RouterOS achieving:
- 1.05 Gbps server RX (single connection)
- 530 Mbps client TCP download
- 840 Mbps client TCP upload
- 433 Mbps client UDP download
