- Teach vpp_api_test to send/receive API messages over sockets
- Add memfd-based shared memory
- Add api messages to create memfd-based shared memory segments
- vpp_api_test supports both socket and shared memory segment connections
- vpp_api_test pivot from socket to shared memory API messaging
- add socket client support to libvlibclient.so
- dead client reaper sends ping messages, container-friendly
- dead client reaper falls back to kill (<pid>, 0) live checking
if e.g. a python app goes silent for tens of seconds
- handle ping messages in python client support code
- teach show api ring about pairwise shared-memory segments
- fix ip probing of already resolved destinations (VPP-998)
We'll need this work to implement proper host-stack client isolation
