When an AF_XDP based application is overloaded, it is preferable for the application to: * Service the Rx ring as fast as it can and drop in the application if required? * Let the Rx ring fill up and let the NIC drop? This is mostly a performance/PPS question. Obviously the application loses the ability to directly count the drops if the NIC drops among other limitations. If it makes a difference, the use case is only i40e right now.
