I have a more general question:
You mentioned in your LSF/MM/BPF talk that you do not plan for XDP support for the "meta device",
because it is already supported in veth.
Does that imply that already today I will get full zerocopy from container via veth to the NIC
(and not only to other containers) by simply opening an AF_XDP socket inside a container?

Thanks,
Florian
