Do you know if there is added latency when comparing macvlan network traffic with 'direct to NIC' inside a docker 'host'?

Never mind, found the answer; https://esc.fnwi.uva.nl/thesis/centraal/files/f345928229.pdf TL;DR TCP-IP is even faster than VM and direct to NIC network traffic, UDP is significantly slower than both. Which begs the question if you should use macvlan for (UDP) DNS queries..
