Leela,
Is your question is why isn't the client part of the VPP application itself?
If so, the answer is to separate the control plane from the data plane
utilizing a fast, efficient shared-memory interface.
VPP is a highly tuned, high performance packet manipulation/forwarding
user-space app

Leela,
I’m not entirely sure I understand your question, but I’ll try to answer.
1) It’s an open source project. If you have a vision to improve it, you can
propose same and submit patches.
2) there are implementations of an external API. The FD.io Honeycomb project
implements NETCONF/RES
I don't think I totally get it.
My question was to ask why does anyone need to write 'shared-memory' access to
call the corresponding binary API for each and every feature set that one is
interested in.
If there is a direct client library available, then it would be much easy to
call the direct

src/vpp-api/vom/ is a C++ wrapper.

Thanks Daw for the response.
I think I understood now. The test_client is a good reference point to start
implementing the client in my application.
Thanks,

Leela,
VAT is an integral part of the Continuous Integration testing infrastructure so
that is NOT appropriate to extend for your application. However, it does offer
a good set of example code on how to implement a VPP client using

Hello,
I am trying to implement a client to VPP in my application that configures VPP
by calling its APIs.
I see that VAT (VPP API TEST?) already has a client implemented as part of its
testing infrastructure.
And I also see that there is a test_client which is a straight-forward and
organic cl
