[FROG] Hardware Requirements

[Sim]

Hello Matt,
thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS + FRR + TC QoS (in VMware environment with two
vNIC)
First NIC is for "BORDER" and the secondo NIC is for "INTERIOR".
No-NAT, No-Firewall or No-other... only BGP/Routing.

Well... I do not know VPP.
Could you explain me if it could be interesting in my infrastructure/config?

Regards
Sim
