Reading on the subject of XDP accumulates for me that (e)BFP will=20
benefit from XDP in various ways.

What I wanted to ask is whether NFT is benefiting from XDP as well, if=20
so how and to which extent?
Are there any particular knobs in NFT for colluding with XDP or are the=20
respective planes automatically aligned/optimised without the need of=20
user intervention?

A search in the public domain did not turn up much but for instance [1]=20
that however also mentions (e)BPF.
