As I mentioned, there are
"applications (e.g. connman) which currently need to keep polling
accounting objects via nfnl_acct_get() in order to get updated
statistics. This is far from ideal in scenarios with large amounts
of accounting objects and diverse, unpredictable network traffic."
You get around 100 accounting objects with one single recv syscall on
x86_64 when polling from userspace. If you're noticing performance
issues with this approach, please report them more precisely.
It's actually rather a conceptual matter here.
Requesting notifications from userspace via nfnl_acct_get() implies that
for each and every one of them, userspace has to make a new query. Is
polling for stats better than receiving notifications from the kernel?
