Something has always bothered me about my understanding of VPPs use of the term
"vector" and "vectors". When I think of Vector Packet Processing I think of
processing a vector (array) of packets in a single call to a node. The code,
though, then seems to refer to the individual packets as "vectors" when it uses
field names like "n_vectors" to refer to the number of buffers in a frame, or
when "show runtime" talks about "vectors per call", when I think it's really
talking about "packets/buffers per call" (and my mind wants to think that it's
always *1* vector/frame of packets per call by design).
I find this confusing, and so I thought I'd ask if there was some meaning here
I'm missing?
Thanks,
Chris.
