The kernel's BPF virtual machine allows programs loaded from user space to be safely run in the kernel's context.

In the previous blog post in this series, we figured out that you might not need link-layer addresses on point-to-point links. We also started exploring whether you need network-layer addresses on individual interfaces but didn’t get very far. We’ll fix that today and discover the secrets behind IP address-per-interface design. In the early days of computer networking, there were three common addressing paradigms:
