Description

I have followed FastPath since I am using it with Mikrotik devices and I have just seen that some of the LEDE+OpenWRT developers are working these days on implementing it in their kernel.
The LEDE discussion is at:
https://forum.lede-project.org/t/qualcomm-fast-path-for-lede/4582/352

The OpenWRT patches I have seen are at:
https://github.com/gwlim/Fast-Path-LEDE-OpenWRT

And the blog post about it is at:
https://aspiregemstone.blogspot.co.il/2017/06/fast-path-for-lede.html

It would be nice to get any boost in VyOS if possible.
I am not sure to which branch of LEDE it will make it but when it will be stable I believe it could be added into VyOS.
So I am requesting that if it will be stabilized it will also be added into VyOS.

Close it as we have nftables flowtable fastpath which works pretty good.
Reopen if required or if you have other ideas.
Thanks
