In this essay the author forgot to mention PFQ, that at the time of writing represents a performant and innovative approach to packet capture and in-kernel functional processing of packets (running on-top-of vanilla drivers). The software is available at www.pfq.io.

PFQ is impressive: "Rx and Tx line-rate on 10-Gbit links (14,8 Mpps), on-top-of Intel ixgbe vanilla drivers." http://www.pfq.io/

Can you explain how to use PFQ only for selected network flows? (and not do a take-over-the-whole-nic?)

University of Pisa, right? Authors of the Netmap and PF_RING also from that university, if I am not mistaken? You guys seem to have a mutual interest towards wire-rate packet processing. Keep it up...
