In conjunction with the release of VPP 17.07, I'd like to invite you all to try out networking-vpp 17.07.1 for VPP 17.07. VPP is a fast userspace forwarder based on the DPDK toolkit, and uses vector packet processing algorithms to minimise the CPU time spent on each packet and maximise throughput. networking-vpp is a ML2 mechanism driver that controls VPP on your control and compute hosts to provide fast L2 forwarding under Neutron.
This version has a few additional enhancements, along with supporting the VPP 17.07 API: - remote security group IDs are now supported - VXLAN GPE support now includes proxy ARP at the local forwarder Along with this, there have been the usual bug fixes, code and test improvements. The README [1] explains how you can try out VPP using devstack: the devstack plugin will deploy etcd, the mechanism driver and VPP itself and should give you a working system with a minimum of hassle. We will continuing development between now and VPP's 17.10 release in October. There are several features we're planning to work on (you'll find a list in our RFE bugs at [2]), and we welcome anyone who would like to come help us. Everyone is welcome to join our biweekly IRC meetings, every other Monday (the next one is due in a week), 0900 PDT = 1600 GMT. -- Ian.
