Non-map redirect only supports redirecting across interfaces (the parameter is an ifindex), so yeah, this would be just for that. > Some gotchas off the top of my head. > > The cpumap also have a struct xdp_bulk_queue, which have a different > layout.

Björn's patches do leave the per-type behaviour, they just get rid of the per-map flush queues... :) -Toke
