1137 @page release_notes_1606 Release notes for VPP 16.06
1140 The FD.io Project, relentlessly focused on data IO speed and efficiency
1141 supporting the creation of high performance, flexible, and scalable software
1142 defined infrastructures, announces the availability of the community’s first
1143 software release (16.06).
1145 In the four months since launching, FD.io has brought together more than 75
1146 developers from 11 different companies including network operators, solution
1147 providers chip vendors, and network equipment vendors who are collaborating to
1148 enhance and innovate around the Vector Packet Processing (VPP) technology. The
1149 FD.io community has quickly formed to grow the number of projects from the
1150 initial VPP project to an additional 6 projects addressing a diverse set of
1151 requirements and usability across a variety of deployment environments.
1153 The 16.06 release brings unprecedented performance: 480Gbps/200mpps with 8
1154 million routes and 2k whitelist entries on standard high volume x86 servers.
1159 In addition to the existing full suite of vswitch/vrouter features, the new
1162 * Enhanced Switching and Routing:
1163 * IPv6 Segment Routing multicast support.
1165 * VXLAN over IPv6 underlay.
1166 * Per interface whitelists.
