with -b 0:
performance:
performance:(test weth libxdp lib)
UDP                              : 320 Kpps (with 100% cpu)
AF_XDP   no  zerocopy + no batch : 480 Kpps (with ksoftirqd 100% cpu)
AF_XDP  with zerocopy + no batch : 540 Kpps (with ksoftirqd 100% cpu)
AF_XDP  with  batch  +  zerocopy : 1.5 Mpps (with ksoftirqd 15% cpu)
