Thank you for your feedback!

Be careful that here, it is the timeout to run "tdc.sh" only which is
currently limited to:

  ./tdc.py -c actions --nobuildebpf
  ./tdc.py -c qdisc

(not "filter", nor "infra" then)

I guess for this, 15 minutes is more than enough, no?

At least on my side, I ran it in a i386 VM without KVM and it took less
than 3 minutes [1].

Cheers,
Matt
