<br>
This is a really interesting discover. We will have a detailed a
look on it and put in our road map list.<br>
<br>
Thanks for pointing it<br>

<div>I just became aware of something called AF_XDP in the Linux
kernel, which is a technology to allow faster zero-copy
transfer of network packets to user space, with hooks to BPF
for packet modification. See more information here:</div>

<div>From the OOR perspective, this could potentially be a
solution to improve performance in a self-contained way,
without relying on a kernel module (like in the early days of
LISPmob), or external dependencies like DPDK or VPP.</div>

</div>
<div>I'm not saying that this is a priority, just that it's
something that we should be aware of.</div>
