how do i get lowest possible datagram latency on Linux these days? io_uring? dpdk? raw sockets?
running a kernel with real time patches (recent NixOS boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages-rt)
dedicated machines, dedicated gigabit ethernet link(s), rt scheduling (jack audio)

looking into dpdk it seems that this could in principle be used for hard real time applications
dedicated cores interact with nics directly using shared memory (dram or cache) and cores uses polling receive

supported for intel igb since linux 5.10
