Long ago, we decided to strictly separate the vpp data plane process from its control plane process(es); as a matter of fault containment if nothing else.
As a practical matter, if you want to build vpp as a library you could change .../src/vpp/vnet/main.c in trivial ways, and adjust .../src/vpp/CMakeLists.txt to build a shared library instead of a standalone binary. Bottom line: I wouldn’t go there myself for any number of reasons, but it wouldn’t be difficult. HTH... Dave From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> On Behalf Of Akash S R Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2021 6:31 AM To: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io Cc: srilcha...@gmail.com Subject: [vpp-dev] Quick question on VPP on : How to Embed VPP as library Hi All, We are using VPP version 21.06 (Latest) We understand that vpp package consists of libraries , plugins,dev and debugs utilities and runs as exe . But as per our current usage , we have a control plane application layer from which we have included VPP packages as libraries from our Makefile . We launch VPP as a separate process and we invoke VAPI's using socket. What is the way to embed VPP directly as a library (Instead of a separate process ) and directly invoke VAPI's from control plane applications ? This is important since we need to know how to deliver VPP as a library to our client. Please Reply Back if any Related Solution is known. Thanks in Advance! Regards, Akash
