Sending A Separate Packet Out The TX Path In XDP

Hey everyone,


I had a quick question. Is it possible to send a packet separate from 
the original out of the TX path within an XDP program? I would imagine 
this isn't possible, but I just wanted to make sure.


If this isn't possible within the XDP program itself, is it possible to 
do this with AF_XDP sockets or can AF_XDP sockets only handle packets 
redirected via the fast-path XDP creates? I wasn't sure if I'd need to 
make another Linux socket inside of the AF_XDP program in this case to 
send a separate packet out.


Any help is highly appreciated and thank you for your time.
