The in-xdp drop that can be measured with xdp1 is lower than rxdrop zerocopy with skip-bpf although in-xdp drop uses only 1 core. af-xdp 1-core performance would improve with need-wakeup or busypoll patches and based on early experiments so far af-xdp with need-wakeup/busypoll + skip-bpf perf is higher than in-xdp drop. Will include in-xdp drop data too in the next revision. > > Maciej's work on batching XDP program's execution should lower the > retpoline overhead, without leaning close to the bypass model. >
