Callers of tap_send() can optionally use a small optimization by adding extra space for the 4 byte length header used on the qemu socket interface. tap_ip_send() is currently the only user of this, but this is used only for "slow path" ICMP and DHCP packets, so there's not a lot of value to the optimization.
Not anymore, definitely. It used to look quite bad in perf(1) when I shuffled connection data around. -- Stefano
