In May when Linux 5.18 comes out, would be interesting to compare FreeBSD's network stack in either 13.1 release or 14.0 current to the latest Linux and see if FreeBSD claim of the fastest network stack still holds true with all this UDP work.

I don't think it's the fastest, but I'm pretty sure it's the most reliable.
