| John DeNisco | c96d618 | 2019-11-06 10:58:28 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | FD.io's Vector Packet Processor (VPP) is a fast, scalable layer 2-4 |
| 11 | multi-platform network stack. It runs in `Linux Userspace <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space>`_ |
| 12 | on multiple architectures including x86, ARM, and Power architectures. |
| 13 | VPP is built using the `Dataplane Development Kit (DPDK) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane_Development_Kit>`_. |
