Hi Pierre,
I made further progress.
I did the "rpm -i vpp-plugins-17.07.01-release.x86_64.rpm", and got plugin
installed.
I updated the /etc/vpp/startup.conf file, and how I can see plugins using
"vppctl show plugins".
My questions remains are:
- how to configure lb and what is the syntax
- instead of load all the plugins in /usr/lib/vpp_plugins/, how to
configure and load just one plugin?

John
