Re: [vpp-dev] containers interconnect via memif

.fd.io Predmet: Re: [vpp-dev] containers interconnect via memif OK, just to be clear, memif lets you pass L2 or L3 packets... but it does not provide a TCP stack (if you need a TCP stack, we have one of those too :) ). Ed On Sun, May 27, 2018 at 2:02 AM Sara Gittlin <sara.gitt...@

Re: [vpp-dev] containers interconnect via memif

Sara, A couple question: What are you wanting to connect via memif in your containers? Is it a CNF (Cloud-native Network Function... ie something meant to process packets) or a traditional app (think webserver, databace, etc)? Ed On Thu, May 24, 2018 at 3:37 AM Sara Gittlin

[vpp-dev] containers interconnect via memif

Hello All, I've followed the example as per https://docs.fd.io/vpp/17.10/libmemif_doc.html . everything works fine. My question is how to connect 2 containers where the container image is a common image [not necessarily libmemif-sample-service] ? what to install ? how to create the memif
