Wow. Nice work, Luca. I really appreciate your continued focus on improving the performance of packet capture without expensive hardware. I just laugh every time companies like Netronome try to peddle their US $10,000 capture cards to us, when using good Intel NICs we can do just about the same. I know that a lot of your interest is on the research side, but have you begun any conversations with linux-kernel developers (like David Miller) about how such a significant change to the NAPI API could be incorporated into the mainline, should TNAPI prove of great benefit and have many users?
