yeah, and that is good. netmap bypasses teh stack and you look at reimplementing the stack in userland, repeating mistakes, bugs and whatnot from many decades. > i.e. there's no way for a userland application to do high speed > packet-level IO. there are plenty of methods actually. userland reimplementing the stack for the sake of speed is beyond idiotic. i rather spend the time to make the stack even faster than it already is. > There is a whole world of need of network monitoring and manipulation and > other specialized networking software.
