Hi Pierre, Sorry for the spam, I made further progress and don't want to waste your time answering questions that I already found answer. - Once I got lb pluging loaded properly, I was able to configure it using vppctl Remaining questions: - why I am got just "local0" device from "vppctl show int"? Does VPP LB require special NIC? How about DPDK? - Do I need to set "vppctl lb conf <ip4-src-address>"? Should that be the IP of the host where VPP LB is run?
