  We present PacketMill, a system for optimizing
  software packet processing, which (i) introduces a
  new model to efficiently manage packet metadata and
  (ii) employs code-optimization techniques to better
  utilize commodity hardware. PacketMill grinds the
  whole packet processing stack, from the high-level
  network function configuration file to the
  low-level userspace network (specifically DPDK)
  drivers, to mitigate inefficiencies and produce a
  customized binary for a given network function. Our
  evaluation results show that PacketMill increases
  throughput (up to 36.4 Gbps -- 70%) & reduces
  latency (up to 101 us -- 28%) and enables
  nontrivial packet processing (e.g., router) at ~100
  Gbps, when new packets arrive >10× faster than main
  memory access times, while using only one
  processing core.
