Last kernel hacking I had to do some work with 10Gbps NICs, so 80Gbps is just so attractive to my eyes.
There are different pass-through/fastpath patch for different chips to avoid memcpy, or do zero-copys, but they are all kernel patches, kernel-only.
An alternative method will be BPF/XDP and DPDK for which you will need modify the kernel drivers somehow for good performance. Wondering if Netmap does that already or is has nothing to do with them.
All of them are addressing Dataplane packet move, hope I can have an environment to experience these close-to-100bps network in my next projects.
In the meantime, I am wondering, why do you pass 4K uncompressed video using IP packets...
