Hi Dave, I fully support pluginification 😊 Is it fair though to say that if the remaining functions of vnet have a dependency on one of the modules below then that module is not a good candidate to move to a plugin?
I thinking about the dependency between IPIP and TEIB. Some of the IPIP functionality (i.e. p2p tunnels) can be provided without TEIB but some cannot (i.e. p2mp tunnels). * Any thoughts on infrastructure to ease plugin on plugin dependencies. For example I seem to recall a system that used a ‘registry’ that the producer would populate and the consumer would invoke and that invocation would be sane in the absence of a producer. * How do we [unit] test the various combinations of loaded plugins? Perhaps the default is not to load any plugins and the test-case specifies which set to load. /neale From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> on behalf of Dave Wallace via lists.fd.io <dwallacelf=gmail....@lists.fd.io> Date: Tuesday, 18 October 2022 at 08:57 To: vpp-dev <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> Subject: [vpp-dev] Move VNET features to plugins Folks, There has been a long standing chore to move VNET features to plugins for which I've created a Jira ticket [0] to coordinate getting this work done for VPP 23.02 release. Can the maintainers of the VNET features [1] please sign up for the associated subtask in [0] and complete the work before the 23.02 RC1 milestone (01/18/2023). It would be great to get this done before the end of 2022 to avoid a large influx of changes in early January. Thanks in advance for your help! -daw- [0] https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjira.fd.io%2Fbrowse%2FVPP-2040&data=05%7C01%7Cneale%40graphiant.com%7C888ed5dcf8744e783a0708dab08a892d%7C162101cdceb34e62ab2e3abc7aeede47%7C0%7C0%7C638016406459814597%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=qtN1mKiFVnGYzcW3lAsg7%2FSFLd5%2Bl8NICwMuqrG0m1M%3D&reserved=0 [1] Current set of VNET features to be moved: BFD BIER CRYPTO GRE IPFIX-EXPORT IPIP IPSEC LAWFUL-INTERCEPT MPLS OSI POLICER PPP QOS SRMPLS SRV6 TEIB TLS VXLAN VXLAN-GPE DEVICES: AF_PACKET PIPE TAP VIRTIO
