Empowering container-based NFVi with VPP on Arm Servers
summary
Reference design shows containerized VNFs on Arm with VPP vhost-user interfaces connecting containers across hosts via an L2 bridge and VxLAN overlay, deployed by Kubernetes on an OPNFV Docker cluster and using DPDK acceleration for dataplane forwarding. VPP runs on Arm (stable release enabled) and deployment is automated, so the datapath functions end to end, but raw throughput numbers are not yet published and performance tuning plus formal benchmarking are ongoing.
