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 is built using the `Dataplane Development Kit (DPDK) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane_Development_Kit>`_.
VPP benefits include high performance, proven technology, modularity,
and a rich feature set.
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
`Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane_Development_Kit>`_
is a great example of this. It provides some important features and drivers
for VPP.
VPP supports integration with OpenStack and Kubernetes. Network
management features include configuration, counters, sampling and
more. For developers, VPP includes plugin extensibility,
high-performance event-logging, and multiple kinds of packet
tracing. Development debug images include complete symbol tables, and
extensive consistency checking.
