please excuse me if I missed out of the previous conversation and
asking these questions again...

Why create a new driver instead of improving the existing KNI driver?
Can you share a table of the differences between the two driver /
approaches [KNI vs KCP]?

Why do you want to remove features like data path that is provided by KNI today?

thanks,
Alex
