Can anyone tell me, where ip is allocated, so I can do a little bit more
research?
It really depends on the context! That's a very wide ranging question.
It depends upon whether mbuf chains are flowing up or down the stack,
whether or not the network driver supports checksum or header/segment
offload, and whether or not it is using zero-copy.
Zero copy transmit normally only has mmu cost if the mbuf (from
userland) can be mapped to a location where headers are easily
prepended. Zero copy receive is more expensive and complex as it
requires that the DMA engine on the network interface card supports
header splitting.
The FreeBSD stack is known to have some issues with mbuf alignment and
architectures other than those in its Tier 1.
