Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will respin addressing your comments.

For the perf numbers, I must confess, I only used the newly delivered IGB device emulation in qemu. I don't have access to a real NIC to provide realistic numbers. But of course, I can provide a comparison between XSK_COPY and XSK_ZEROCOPY using the emulator.
