> New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for transmission.
> - It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism, based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space which is mmapped from user space).
> - It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).
