+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

TRADITIONAL LINUX SOCKET (posix epoll + recv):
[NIC] ---> [Kernel Driver] ---> [Allocates sk_buff] ---> [TCP/IP Stack] ---> [Copy to User App]
* Bottleneck: Multiple memory copies + interrupt context switches. Max: ~1.5 Mpps per core.

XDP (eXpress Data Path - In-Driver eBPF):
[NIC] ---> [NIC Driver: XDP BPF Program] ---> [XDP_DROP (DDoS mitigation) / XDP_TX (Redirect)]
* Efficiency: Drops or routes packets in < 15 nanoseconds before allocating kernel memory!

AF_XDP (Zero-Copy UMEM Ring Buffer - 2026 Gold Standard):
[NIC DMA Hardware] ===(Direct Memory Access: Zero Copies!)===> [UMEM Shared Memory Ring]
                                                                        │
                                                                        ▼
                                                             [User Space Application]
* Best of Both Worlds: ~25-40 Mpps per core without breaking standard Linux network drivers!

DPDK (Full Userspace Kernel Bypass):
[NIC] ===(Direct Poll Mode Driver (PMD) - Kernel Completely Bypassed!)===> [User Space App]
* Max Performance: ~50-80 Mpps per core, but requires dedicated 100% CPU polling & custom drivers.

[USER SPACE APPLICATION] <====================================> [LINUX KERNEL DRIVER]
                          CONTIGUOUS MEMORY POOL (UMEM)
                          
  1. FILL RING (User -> Kernel):
     - Application populates ring with available memory buffer addresses (frames).

  2. RX RING (Kernel -> User):
     - NIC DMAs incoming packet directly into frame -> Kernel notifies user via RX ring!

  3. TX RING (User -> Kernel):
     - Application places outbound packet frames onto TX ring for transmission.

  4. COMPLETION RING (Kernel -> User):
     - Kernel notifies application that frame transmission is finished and memory is free!
