Which networking option typically delivers the lowest packet-processing latency but requires hugepages, binding NICs to user-space drivers, and a heavier setup effort?

Click the option that best answers the question.

  • Standard BSD `raw sockets` (e.g., `recvfrom` / `recvmsg`)
  • Packet-capture / RX improvements like `PF_RING` (with zero-copy variants)
  • Vendor kernel-bypass solutions such as `Solarflare` / `OpenOnload`
  • `DPDK` (Data Plane Development Kit) with user-space NIC drivers and hugepages
