Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m currently in exactly the same boat. I spent a good bit of time getting VPP and FRRouting married on a SuperMicro chassis with 4x Intel X722 NICs. I have a loose collection of notes/instructions here:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ultimately we haven’t moved with this in production due to lack of faith in performance. I haven’t been able to prove that it’ll do 14M PPS to achieve line rate 10 Gbps, mainly because I don’t have a testing environment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But, in the mean time, feel free to peruse my docs, they should help you build a semi-reliable VPP/FRR setup.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is not something that we've put together at this point in time. FRR works quite nicely on all modern processors but you seem more concerned about data plane forwarding, which while understandable, is not something we have a bunch
of control over. As I understand it using something like XDP or DPDK works quite nicely as accelerators for packet processing, it is just not something I have experience with.<o:p></o:p></p>

NICs”? I am aware of some white box lists provided by NOS vendors but was not able to find anything about native FRR. I´ve found some posts of
<a href="http://cloudscale.ch" target="_blank">cloudscale.ch</a> where they mentioned appliances from a vendor named Lanner (which I never heard of before). Its not about advertising vendors but more kind of a “known-to-work-well” list.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
