Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response, Yes I have read that page however, this
paragraph was a little off-putting;

"Unfortunately the VPP's router plugin is not being actively
maintained and is not part of the official VPP repository, being
maintained separately in the VPP Sandbox (VPPsb) [5]. Its latest
versions are broken since a few changes were made in the VPP API, so
we're going to use older versions of VPP/VPPsb where things are known
to work."

I'm wondering if support between VPP and FRR is on the official
feature list (unless I've missed it I can't see it) or roadmap for
FRR?

Either way, are there any forwarding plane engines that are expected
to be officially supported by FRR, other than the Kernel?

Cheers,
James.
