Thanks Ole for pointing at the asynchronous events. If they work like interrupts, then there should not be any problem with synchronous client. Please let me know your thoughts.

Like the want_ apis. src/vpp-api/client has a knob to choose if you want the rx thread or not.

I see that there is a rx_thread for processing responses from the server (VPP) to process the replies asynchronously. Do we need to use the thread? Or Can we get rid of it and process the responses synchronously probably by introducing a wait if there is only one request at time from the client? This way I can use the same request context to catch the “reply_t” structure. If it works, I can have request – response in a single call and return the response structure. Please let me know if I can get rid of the rx_thread and handle this synchronously. Thanks, Leela sankar -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
