Thanks.
So it's not security to use unix socket too? If i want to send some data from
vpp to linux or to another process, any options?

See also src/vnet/unix/tuntap.c, which seems to already do pretty much what
you’re describing. It’s disabled by default. Use the command-line argument
“tuntap { enable }” to kick the tires.
In addition to the concerns which Chris mentioned, adding ‘system(“foo”)’ calls
to vpp is not a security best practice.
Thanks… Dave

Using any syscall needs thinking through from inside VPP. Using system() or
similar is simply ill-advised; what you’re doing is best done outside of VPP
where the penalty of executing fork() is much diminished.
If you really must create these interfaces from inside VPP then I suggest you
look up the netlink ABI in Linux, which is what the ‘ip’ program uses, and
program it directly.
Chris.

I would like to add veth interface in vpp for every phy interface, " system("ip
link add vpp type veth peer name kernel-vpp") ".
It's convenient to do this from vpp.

Why would you do that from within vpp?

I would like to use this func to start another dameon , such as "
system("zebra -d") ".

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the 'func system'...
