> I'm surprised to hear all packets are processed in userspace...

Specifically for cases of forwarding DPDK-style approach can be faster because it will incur fewer buffer copies.

Starlink only does 25-200Mbps and average packets are like 7-8x larger so at most you're doing ~36000 PPS which is pretty manageable even on 1Ghz
