Yea BPF offload would be great to have. We have been discussing it for years though - security issues keep blocking it. *Maybe* it's finally going to be there but I'm not going to block this work waiting for BPF offload. And easily migrated is what BPF is not. -- MST --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: virtio-dev-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: virtio-dev-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
