Well, sure. You can use netmap and use a &quot;host ring&quot; to inject the packets back to the kernel. While good for toy app, this won&#x27;t work in real workloads. For example host ring doesn&#x27;t support multiple RX queues. The article goes into details how to work around it and just leave most of the network flows to be dealt with by the kernel, while opting-in to the kernel bypass for only selected flows.
