Stop Blaming Your eBPF Code. The Kernel's Data Structures are the Bottleneck.

eBPF's promise of high-speed, in-kernel processing is hitting a wall. Deep analysis by Cloudflare shows that core kernel data structures, like the LPM trie used for IP matching, are now the main performance bottleneck, not the eBPF programs themselves....
