Description
For long time, The kernel have contained two mechanisms with similar packet filtering functionality: tc filter (with chains) and iptables/nftables.
As eBPF is starting to take over, once again we seem to have two mechanisms with similar functionality: BPFilter and the newly suggested OVS-eBPF datapath (on top on tc).
As we move to using eBPF, I'd like to discuss the possibility of uniting those two functionalities, both the BPFilter and OVS-eBPF path, into a single one and let go of all the duplicate code.
