| The Vector Packet Processor (VPP) |
| ================================= |
| This section describes some of the core concepts and features of FD.io VPP. |
| To start with FD.io VPP uses a technique called Vector Packet Processing. |
| This gives FD.io VPP a siginficant performance improvement over packet |
| processing applications that use scalar processing. |
| Also, At the heart of Fd.io VPP's modular design is a 'Packet Processing Graph'. |
| This makes FD.io VPP scalable and easily extensible. |
| The FD.io software also includes a feature rich network stack. This includes |
| a TCP host stack that utilizes VPP’s graph based forwarding model and vectorized |
| FD.io VPP is tested nightly for functionality and performance with the |
