Thanks for the numbers! One question that keeps coming to my mind is how do the cases compare on zero drop performance? When I was experimenting with AF_XDP it seemed to be slightly more prone to dropping packets than expected. I wonder if you're seeing a similar thing (well drops or back pressure to the traffic generator)? Perhaps the single core busy poll would make a difference there?
