I presume that is because you are shoving a lot of packets
through them?
Will that remove the horrid delayed free of the routing
table entry that gets created for IPv4 with 'hdrinc'
because the address in the packet might not match that
in the address buffer?
I've seen the softint code spend ages doing the final frees.
We have good reasons for using raw sockets to send a lot of UDP.
But 'hdrinc' has to be used to get the UDP checksum right.
