 881   separate proxy object.
 882   https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5570/
 883   The api methods are now referenced as:
 884     vpp_handle = VPP(jsonfiles)
 885     vpp_handle.connect(...)
 886     vpp = vpp_handle.api
 887     vpp.show_version()
 888     vpp_handle.disconnect()
 889
 890   For backwards compatibility VPP API methods are left in the main
 891   name space (VPP), but will be removed from 17.07.
 892
 893   - Python API: Change from cPython to CFFI.
 894
 895 - create_loopback message to be replaced with create_loopback_instance

1148 The FD.io Project, relentlessly focused on data IO speed and efficiency
1149 supporting the creation of high performance, flexible, and scalable software
1150 defined infrastructures, announces the availability of the community’s first
1151 software release (16.06).

1154 developers from 11 different companies including network operators, solution
1155 providers chip vendors, and network equipment vendors who are collaborating to
