  Description     : Open Source Vector Packet Processing Platform

The VPP platform is an extensible framework that provides out-of-the-box

production quality switch/router functionality. It is the open source version

of Cisco's Vector Packet Processing (VPP) technology: a high performance,

packet-processing stack that can run on commodity CPUs.

The benefits of this implementation of VPP are its high performance, proven

technology, its modularity and flexibility, and rich feature set.

It is a modular design. The framework allows anyone to "plug in" new graph

nodes without the need to change core/kernel code.
