One-liner for setting IPv6 address and IPv4 endpoints on gif interface?

Dear Paul, I tried all of this :/ still, 256/512 descriptors seem to work the best. Happy to let you log into the machine and fiddle around if you want :) yes, but I'm shure I will also not be able to achieve much more pps. As it seems that you hit hardware-software-level-barriers, my only id
