Hi Christian,

VPP itself exposes the API over a Unix domain socket or via shared memory. 

There is no authentication, retransmits, or congestion control.

I have tried proxying the UDS across an ssh tunnel and that seemed to work. 
You could also do something like a grpc proxy to accommodate remote access. 

Cheers 
Ole
