Sorry, I didn't get, what different consistent do you mean?

With XDP_DROP in veth perr, the number looks much better

xdp_redirect_map:
generic mode: 1.64M PPS
driver mode: 13.3M PPS
xdp_redirect_map_multi:
generic mode: 1.29M PPS
driver mode: 8.5M PPS

But I don't know why this one get even a little slower..

xdp_redirect_map_multi:
generic mode: 0.96M PPS
driver mode: 3.14M PPS
