In tun, NAPI is supported and we can also use NAPI in the path of batched XDP buffs to accelerate packet processing. What is more, after we use NAPI, GRO is also supported. The iperf shows that the throughput of single stream could be improved from 4.5Gbps to 9.2Gbps. Additionally, 9.2 Gbps nearly reachs the line speed of the phy nic and there is still about 15% idle cpu core remaining on the vhost thread.
