FD.io Mini-Summit at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2018

Open/R is a new open source distributed routing control plane. This proposal discusses the integration of VPP with Open/R  using thrift/0MQ based interface, marrying the best of the breed data plane with an efficient control plane.

VPP Data plane aspects:      
- Multi-controller integration (cloud, distributed)    
-  Dual stack versus single stack    
-  Integration with efficient messages buses like gRPC, 0MQ.      
- Memory footprint optimizations for a wireless gigabit router use case.      
- Nuances of implementing a wireless poll mode driver interface              
- Managing multiple memory pools within VPP              
- Use Large size mbufs, cloned and multi segment mbufs.              
- Aggregation of wireless PDUs, timers and reorder buffers.      
- Load balancing (non-ECMP) in the wireless mesh.      
- QoS challenges with varying link conditions and congestion control.
