[vpp-dev] FAQ or Documentation request

2019-07-22 Thread Brian Dickson
Speaking mostly as a user, there is some really important information needed for using VPP, which is not documented (at all, or at least anywhere that can be found). I would like to make a request that someone take up this request and provide documentation, and preferably add it (or a link to it)

[vpp-dev] Build/rebuild problems (adding dpdk support)

2018-12-17 Thread Brian Dickson
Hi, VPP folks, I am trying to add in support for a new card/driver. The info on the DPDK website says the drivers I have should work fine. Thus, the only issue is adding in the correct manufacturer/device IDs into the init.c file: src/plugins/dpdk/device/init.c I edit the file (one-line chang

[vpp-dev] vpp router plugin threads? (vpp + router + netlink + FRRouting)

2018-12-11 Thread Brian Dickson
Greetings, VPP folks. I am continuing to work on my vpp + router-plugin (+FRRouting) set-up. I have things mostly working with very large routing tables (source from multiple BGP peers), but am having some challenges when trying to use multi-threaded (additional worker threads) for increasing ove

Re: [vpp-dev] Maintainer router plugin

2018-12-07 Thread Brian Dickson
Two other questions/suggestions on how to handle aspects of the router plugin (at least for FRR), and/or multiple instances: (1) FRR supports methods other than netlink for updating a FIB. One of those is FPM (I think forwarding plane manager?). FPM allows netlink format packets, or another format

I have been working with the netlink and router plugins, which I was able to build from the 18.07 tree via the instructions in vppsb/router. (NB: trying to build from anything more recent, e.g. 18.10 or 19.01 breaks, with no obvious easy resolution). When running with these plugins, connected wit
