HI Murthy, There are two plugins, that I know of, that use the ACL as a service; ACL based forwarding (ABF) and group based policy (GBP). Both of these plugins expect that the user first configures the ACL using the ACL plugin, then passes the index of the ACL during ABF/GBP programming. This separation means that the ABF/GBP plugins do not need to reimplement the rich ACL API, which is a major benefit. Is this an approach you could also take?

While this seem to be achievable, we have one issue at our hand. We would like to program the ACLs ( add/delete of ACL rules ) also from our custom plugin instead of VPP-API framework. However, I see that the lower layer functions like acl_add_list() are declared as non-static (only available via APIs), preventing us to directly use those functions from our custom plugin. We can get away with this static function issue by using function pointers. But we would like to know , if there is any other cleaner framework VPP provides to add/del ACLs from other plugins instead of VPP-API framework. Please let us know. -- Thanks & Regards, Murthy
