I try some times different algorithms. This is one of thees:
*(u_int32_t *)(dst) = *(u_int32_t *)(src);
*(u_int16_t *)&(dst->octet[4]) = *(u_int16_t *)&(src->octet[4]);

But, internal gcc and clang optimisations are much better, than my attempt.
For aligned platforms (2 bytes aligned) best choice is *dst = *src;
