This challenge is rooted in a partitioned data path where the split between the kernel space networking stack and user space applications induces overheads. To address this challenge, we propose Santa, a architecture to optimize the data path by enabling server applications to (partially) offload packet processing to a generic rule processor. We exemplify Santa by showing how it can drastically accelerate kernel-based UDP packet processingâ\text\euro''a currently neglected domain. Our evaluation focuses on accelerating DNS server for which we find a performance increase by a factor of 5.5.
