[FROG] Zebra with no kernel routes: any real users?

[Andrey Korolyov]

Hi,

as frr implements protobuf communication for convenient route
side-handling for some time, are there any cases around where OS
kernel is not needed anymore for route handling, while bgp
reflector/serializer still needs to be used? For example, one may
imagine full-view or something like that being pushed to the every
compute node to virtual switch which handles actual traffic overlay -
in this case, route redistributor such as frr need not to maintain the
same full view somewhere outside the reflector application.

Would be upstreaming of this case useable for anyone or I`m just
projecting special needs for specially-designed software as a generic
solution? If not, are there any reasons behind current lack of
implementation of no-op zebra?

Thanks.
