Description

**Describe scenario**
I'm using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with Azure CNI powered by Cilium (not BYO CNI). Currently running Kubernetes 1.32.3 with the Azure Linux 3.0 node pool which is on the 6.6 kernel.

**Question**
I noticed that XDP acceleration for LoadBalancer/NodePort traffic (as described in the Cilium docs here: [LB NodePort XDP Acceleration](https://docs.cilium.io/en/latest/network/kubernetes/kubeproxy-free/#loadbalancer-nodeport-xdp-acceleration) is disabled in my setup. I understand that with BYO CNI, this can be configured directly, but since I’m using Azure CNI powered by Cilium, I don’t have direct access to configure this.

Would love to know if there’s any way to enable this or get official guidance on its support.

Thanks!
