+The Data Model
+--------------
+
+The FIB data model comprises two parts; the control-plane (CP) and the data-plane
+(DP). The CP data model represents the data that is programmed into VPP by the
+upper layers. The DP model represents how VPP derives actions to be performed on
+packets as they are switched.
