I love DPDK. Super fun. I've actually made a few projects with it. But this is for creating closed network systems, not for integrating into Linux's networking infrastructure. If somebody would like to produce a WireGuard implementation (library, I guess) for DPDK, I'd be super happy about this, and I'm sure it'd find some specialized users. But for everything else, there's the ordinary design.

It is absolutely possible to create DPDK applications that send/receive data into the Linux network stack using KNI [1]. I'm not sure if I'm qualified to say whether DPDK is βforβ something, but the means to achieve this exist.
