What's the plan on opening the discussion on this? Can we get a peek? Is it an alternative to XDP and the driver hook? Different architecture or just different implementation? I understood it as another pseudo skb model with a path on converting to real skbs for stack processing. I really like the current proposal by Brenden for its simplicity and targeted compatibility with cls_bpf.
