Re: [vpp-dev] API versioning

A good step in the right direction. How does this translate in terms of python package versioning? Ideally, we should have a python PyPI package for programming VPP using python library. Thanks Alec From: on behalf of "Marek Gradzki -X (mgradzki - PANTHEON TECHNOLOGIES at Cisco)" Date

Great summary slides Karl, I have a few more questions on the slides. · Did you use OSP10/OSPD/ML2 to deploy your testpmd VM/configure the vswitch or is it direct launch using libvirt and direct config of the vswitches? (this is a bit related to Maciek’s question on the exact interface

John, When a resource is reused from that freed pool, is it assigned the same IDs (name and sw_if_index)? To prevent any confusion and race conditions, it is better to assign them new unique IDs (e.g. increment the vxlan_tunnel number in the name, use a unique ID for any internal index such as

Hi Mark, Thanks for providing the pointer to the IETF draft. This looks like a great document for describing vswitch performance benchmarking and we could clearly reuse/contribute to that document. There are already some overlap with what is being discussed here such as packet paths involving

Dave, Collect plugins run in the collectd process itself, so this licensing only applies to the plugin code itself. Nothing specific to collectd actually links to VPP. Steve Shin wrote a first version of collectd plugin in python that queries VPP by invoking vppctl and parsing the output (I g

Thanks for confirming Billy and Thomas. Could you also check regarding link bonding (whether deployments use link bonding). A single tenant interface + bonding (which means 2 phys interfaces bonded) will exercise the bonding code in dpdk for the egress traffic.. This will also dictate the spec

Hi Damjan, Regarding the diffs, do you know in which error case(s) the retry will hit the most to cause such a big improvement in NDR? I have counted no less than 8 got done in the outer loop and it seems to me some of the error cases should not be retried at all (e.g. VHOST_USER_TX_FUNC_ERROR_
