It runs in `Linux Userspace `_ +on multiple architectures including x86, ARM, and Power architectures. -FD.io VPP is, at it's core, a scalable layer 2-4 network stack. -It supports integration into both Open Stack and Kubernetes environments. -It supports network management features including configuration, counters and sampling. -It supports extending with plugins, tracing and debugging. -It supports use cases such as vSwitch, vRouter, Gateways, Firewalls and Load Balancers, to name but a few. -Finally it is useful both a software development kit or an appliance out of the box. +VPP's high performance network stack is quickly becoming the network stack of +choice for applications around the world. + +VPP is continually being enhanced through the extensive use of plugins. The +`Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) `_ +is a great example of this. It provides some important features and drivers +for VPP. + +VPP supports integration with OpenStack and Kubernetes. Network +management features include configuration, counters, sampling and +more. For developers, VPP includes high-performance event-logging, +and multiple kinds of packet tracing.
