My opinion is that this is a duplication of effort and we'd be better

It may have merit if it is proven that it is technically superior to
virtio (and I don't mean some benchmark in some point in time; I mean
design wise). So far I haven't seen any indications that it is.


The design is very different, so hopefully I can start to convince you
why it might be interesting.

We've been through this before I believe. If you can point out specific differences that make venet outperform virtio-net I'll be glad to hear (and steal) them though.
