Fully agree with you that we need a sample, but a better location for it is in libxdp as xdpsock demonstrates how to use libxdp interfaces. We cannot require that people install libxdp just to be able to compile samples/bpf/. And the sample should be simpler IMO. So let us use this as an opportunity to improve things. > Srivats
