// VPP C++ API example
//
// The uplink is the 1st interface (sw_if_index is 1) and is set
// to 10.10.10.10/24 The uplink gateway is 10.10.10.1 The IPsec tunnel is set
// between 10.10.10.10 and 10.20.20.20 The protected subnet is 192.168.0.0/24
// VRF 1 is for uplink ingress
// VRF 2 is IPsec egress (clear -> cipher)
// VRF 3 is IPsec ingress (cipher -> clear)
//
// The following examples must be run with VPP in the following state:
//   ip table add 1             # VRF 1
//   ip table add 2             # VRF 2
//   ip table add 3             # VRF 3
//   loop create                # loop0 is used as uplink with sw_if_index=1
//   set int ip table loop0 1   # VRF 1 is ingress
//   set int state loop0 up
//
// Then the API will configure VPP similar to this:
//   # configure uplink address
//   set int addr loop0 10.10.10.10/24
//   # create the IP-IP tunnel
//   create ipip tunnel src 10.10.10.1 dst 10.20.20.20 outer-table-id 2
//   # use VRF-3 as IPsec ingress VRF (cipher -> clear)
//   set int ip table ipip0 3
//   set int unnum ipip0 use loop0
//   set int state ipip0 up
//   ipsec sa add 20 spi 200 crypto-key 01234567890123456789012345678901
//     crypto-alg aes-cbc-128 integ-key 01234567890123456789 integ-alg sha1-96
//     use-anti-replay udp-encap
//   ipsec sa add 30 spi 300 crypto-key 01234567890123456789012345678901
//     crypto-alg aes-cbc-128 integ-key 01234567890123456789 integ-alg sha1-96
//     use-anti-replay udp-encap
//   # protect IP-IP with IPsec
//   ipsec tunnel protect ipip0 sa-in 30 sa-out 20
//   # subnet to route through IPsec (clear -> cipher)
//   ip route add table 1 192.168.0.0/24 via ipip0
//   # default route for IPsec packets after encapsulation (clear -> cipher)
//   ip route add table 20.0.0.0/0 via 10.10.10.1 loop0
//   # default route for clear-text packets after decapsulation
//   # (cipher -> clear)
//   ip route add table 30.0.0.0/0 via 10.10.10.1 loop0
