| What is the Vector Packet Processor (VPP) |
| ######################################### |
| |
| 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 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. |
| |
| Some VPP Use-cases include vSwitches, vRouters, Gateways, Firewalls |
| and Load Balancers, to name a few. Out of the box, VPP can work as a |
| software development kit or an appliance. |
