We certainly should have this discussion, however I believe what VPP really
wants is the ability to associate a managed prefix with packets, as this is
how the VLIB buffer is currently being used.
ODP packets have the notion of a configurable headroom area that precedes
and is contiguous with the
I did not understand one moment there.
What I understand is:
1. you created pool with some size of meta data.
2. you get or alloc packet and send it to VPP.
3. VPP returns back pointer to user data.
Why you can not place packet handle inside user area then? Is it cache
line problem?
If VPP alloc
I'd like to have SoC vendors feedback on the discussion and on the
following:
This ODP user area is used by VPP to put a vlib_buffer information. VPP is
just one of the applications that will use this simple mechanism and that
is certainly a design pattern.
A user area can exist when an odp packe
