BNGBlaster counts rx-packets when disabling qdisc-bypass

[SoerenBusse]

Describe the bug

When configuring qdisc-bypass: false and a downstream-only stream, BNG-Blaster shows rx-packets on the network-interface, although no rx-packets are received:

This wrongly counted rx-packets are included in the report, too:

When setting qdisc-bypass: true the rx-packets are not counted:

To Reproduce
Use the PPPoE Quick-Start guide and disable qdisc-bypass.

    ]
}

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure qdisc-bypass: false
2. Run BNG Blaster and observe rx-packets

Additional context

We want to bypass qdisc in egress to apply tc netem rules for simulating network issues like packet loss, latency etc.

Hi @GIC-de, the issue still exists on 0.9.7. Do you have any idea, what is the reason for it?
