Thanks for getting back! More questions!

Ok, so I cannot (with zero-copy) get the regular traffic into AF_XDP
sockets?

How does qids map? Can I only bind a zero-copy socket to qid 32..63 in
the example above?

Say that I have a a copy-mode AF_XDP socket bound to queue 2. In this
case I will receive the regular traffic from queue 2. Enabling zero-copy
for the same queue, will this give an error, or receive AF_XDP specific
traffic from queue 2+32? Or return an error, and require an explicit
bind to any of the queues 32..63?


Thanks,
