Accelerating UDP packet transmission for QUIC
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post explores techniques to accelerate UDP packet transmission, specifically for QUIC, by leveraging `sendmmsg()` for batched packet transmission and UDP segmentation offload (GSO) to reduce kernel overhead. It also discusses the challenges of integrating packet pacing with these optimizations.
