If a decision is made to implement any FIB/LPM logic in testpmd, it would be great if a vector-only approach that is used in l3fwd could be avoided. While working on RISC-V port I had to disable l3fwd compilation for RISC-V as it requires a vector engine (in l3fwd_em.c). The board I'm currently using has rv64gc ISA which does not have vector extensions and I use testpmd extensively for verification, hence it would be a shame to lose it.
