Thank you very much for your response Benoit!
I am wondering if there is another option e.g. rte-ring of DPDK or if that
option is not feasible in VPP?
Could you comment? We are looking for a service-chaining application
similar to snort but would like to have a much simpler zero-copy interface.

Thank you,

- P K DAS
