Looking forward to seeing the > numbers. To be 100% clear, being able to push and pull custom UDP encap headers (that the NIC may not even be able to parse) is one of the main use cases for XDP, for L3 load balances. dynptr may be slower or faster for reading and writing to the packet, but it can't push or pull. So this is a bit of a side conversation. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious.
