FD.io's Vector Packet Processor (VPP) is a fast, scalable layer 2-4
|
|
|
|
|
multi-platform network stack. It runs in `Linux Userspace <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space>`_
|
|
|
|
|
on multiple architectures including x86, ARM, and Power architectures.

VPP's high performance network stack is quickly becoming the network stack of
|
|
|
|
|
choice for applications around the world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VPP is continually being enhanced through the extensive use of plugins. The

|
|
is a great example of this. It provides some important features and drivers
|
|
|
|
|
for VPP.

more. For developers, VPP includes high-performance event-logging,
|
|
|
|
|
and multiple kinds of packet tracing. Development debug images
