Hi Yu, Could you give me an example of the requirement of the physical hotplug for NFV ? FYI, vhost-user is already implemented: using VPP as a vswitch already works, so, hotplug of virtual interfaces already works.
The way I see this is: - SRIOV/PCI pass thru: vpp is not in the loop, and the physical interfaces are reserved, and connected to the VMs - VPP as a vswitch: you connect all your physical interfaces at startup, and your vms are connected to vpp thru vhost-user socket.

Hi Marion, Does next release version support hotplugins? BTW, hotplugins is very importance for VPP used for NFV. 2016-11-24 4:13 GMT+08:00 Damjan Marion <dmarion.li...@gmail.com<mailto:dmarion.li...@gmail.com>>: > On 17 Nov 2016, at 03:07, Chillance Zen > <chillance...@gmail.com<mailto:chillance...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > > Hi, dear all. > as far as I know , vpp is derived from cisco 's mature commercial > product,since accelerated with DPDK,it's very suitable for VNF appliance > ,and also this is what we are gonna do.one thing which confuses me is how > vpp supports plugable interface to make vpp more flexible since we do not > restart vpp when a interface joins vpp.what's more ,DPDK does support port > hotplugin with both pci dev and vdev. We currently do not support hotplug of physical devices. It is not impossible to add support but it will require some work... _______________________________________________ vpp-dev mailing list vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> https://lists.fd.io/mailman/listinfo/vpp-dev This message and any attachments (the "message") are confidential, intended solely for the addressees.
