That's specific to routing; the numbers we got were roughly consistent
with the routing table lookup performance reported here:
https://vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2017-ipv4-route-lookup-linux

I.e., a fib lookup takes something on the order of 30-50 ns, which
eats up quite a bit of the time budget for forwarding...
