Hi Luca,

DPDK is a historical decision, I can't really rewrite the project from
scratch.

Dummy interface
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/dummy.c) is
an interface type in kernel that can be set up without being connected
to an actual link. I may however need to extend it or go with another
interface type. I am still surveying landscape before commiting to
writing an actual code.

As for injecting packets - so far I was thinking about using libpcap, as
there is an expected cap of 4 Gbps, which could/should be sufficient.
