Re: [vpp-dev] SPAN feature backport

2018-06-15 Thread Harish Patil
Hi Damjan,

Thanks for the response and your suggestions.
Yes I too noticed that buffer clone API like vlib_buffer_copy() is missing.
Let me check if there is a way out to move to newer VPP in our project.
Shall get back if we have more questions.

Thanks,
Harish

That's pretty bad idea. Beside feature arcs, SPAN is also using buffer cloning 
which is introduced post 16.06.

16.06 is very old release, not maintained, strongly suggest to move to new 
version...

[vpp-dev] SPAN feature backport

2018-06-15 Thread Harish Patil
Hi,

I are currently using VPP 16.06 release.
We would like to enable SPAN feature (port mirroring) in 16.06, but it is
available only in VPP 17.01 release and above. It seems SPAN module depends
on vnet feature arc (vnet/feature/).
So my question is can we bypass vnet feature arc using some workaround and
backport it into 16.06? If so, how easy or difficult would be that?
Are there any other alternates besides upgrading VPP?

Thanks,

Harish
