Hi Yuet Siu,

The long term goal is to write a plugin for VPP in FRR. We're already
working on a new southbound interface in zebra to make this possible.

The problem with the VPPsb's router plugin is that it relies on
Netlink messages to mirror the kernel's FIB into VPP's FIB, and
Netlink is not a reliable protocol (think about thousands of routes
being installed at the same time). Also, we need to have a tighter
FRR/VPP integration in order to support advances features like VRF,
MPLS L2/L3 VPNs, etc. Unfortunately we have no ETA for the moment.

Cheers,
Renato.
