Justin, I've fixed the tutorial in this area:
https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Progressive_VPP_Tutorial Here's the net net. Damjan improved the vppctl, rewriting it in C, and having it talk over a file socket to vpp. This is goodness. It does mean you do the multi-vpp instance thing a bit differently though: sudo vpp unix {cli-listen /run/vpp/cli-vpp1.sock} api-segment { prefix vpp1 } sudo vppctl -s /run/vpp/cli-vpp1.sock Thanks for asking, it prompted me to fix the tutorial :) Ed On Wed, Oct 4, 2017 at 9:23 AM, Justin Iurman <justin.iur...@ulg.ac.be> wrote: > Hi all, > > Is it still possible to run multiple instances of VPP, just like it was > done with VPP-lite (see here: https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/ > Progressive_VPP_Tutorial) before merging it ? > > Actually, my problem is the following.
