Hi Anders,

Why "as an alternative to the DPDK framework"? I think there is code to use
DPDK in libpcap.
Actually there's no code in libpcap 1.9.1 to use DPDK... I just grepped through the tarball..

I also think there has been efforts to use CP fanout and similar have you
tried that?
I think you mean the PACKET_FANOUT_CPU option of  a Linux socket (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/packet.7.html) 
right?
Honestly I didn't see any reference in libpcap (I grepped :) )

THanks
Francesco
