Few examples of non-dpdk interfaces, they all work with dpdk plugin disabled:

vpp tap native driver - uses linux TAP interface with vhost-net backend to 
exchange packets with linux kernel
memif driver - shared memory interface with another usermode process, (i.e. 
another VPP). works between containers
AVF native driver - Driver for Intel AVF devices (intel xl710 Virtual Functions)
vhost-user, VPP as vhost-user backend for virtual machines
netmap - use of netmap user mode access inteface, originated from FreeBSD
