+VPP with Containers
+====================
This section will cover connecting two Linux containers with VPP. A container is essentially a more efficient and faster VM, due to the fact that a container does not simulate a separate kernel and hardware. You can read more about `Linux containers here <https://linuxcontainers.org/>`_.

+Introduction
+============
+
+This tutorial shows how to use VPP use iperf3 and Trex to get some basic peformance
+numbers from a few basic configurations. Four examples are shown. In the first two
+examples, the **iperf3** tool is used to generate traffic, and in the last two examples
+the Cisco's `TRex Realistic Traffic Generator <http://trex-tgn.cisco.com/>`_ is used. For
+comparison purposes, the first example shows packet forwarding using ordinary kernel
+IP forwarding, and the second example shows packet forwarding using VPP.
+
+Three Intel Xeon processor platform systems are used to connect to the VPP host to pass traffic
+using **iperf3** and Cisco’s `TRex <http://trex-tgn.cisco.com/>`_.
+
+Intel 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network interface cards (NICs) are used to connect the hosts.
+
+
+Using Kernel Packet Forwarding with Iperf3
+===========================================
+
+In this test, 40 GbE Intel Ethernet Network Adapters are used to connect the three
+systems. Figure 1 illustrates this configuration.
+
+.. figure:: /_images/iperf3fig1.png
+
+Figure 1: VPP runs on a host that connects to two other systems via 40 GbE NICs.
+
+For comparison purposes, in the first example, we configure kernel forwarding in
+*csp2s22c03* and use the **iperf3** tool to measure network bandwidth between
+*csp2s22c03* and *net2s22c05*.
+
+In the second example, we start the VPP engine in *csp2s22c03* instead of using
+kernel forwarding. On *csp2s22c03*, we configure the system to have the addresses
+10.10.1.1/24 and 10.10.2.1/24 on the two 40-GbE NICs. To find all network interfaces
+available on the system, use the lshw Linux command to list all network interfaces
+and the corresponding slots *[0000:xx:yy.z]*.
+
+In this example, the 40-GbE interfaces are *ens802f0* and *ens802f1*.

+
+On *csp2s22c04*, we configure the system to have the address 10.10.1.2 and use
+the interface *ens802* to route IP packets 10.10.2.0/24. Use the lshw Linux
+command to list all network interfaces and the corresponding slots *[0000:xx:yy.z]*.
+
+For example, the interface *ens802d1* *(ens802)* is connected to slot *[82:00.0]*:

+.. code-block:: console

+ csp2s22c04$ sudo lshw -class network -businfo

+After setting the route, we can ping from *csp2s22c03* to *csp2s22c04*, and vice versa:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ csp2s22c03$ ping 10.10.1.2 -c 3

+ 64 bytes from 10.10.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.102 ms
+
+Similarly, on *net2s22c05*, we configure the system to have the address *10.10.2.2*
+and use the interface *ens803f0* to route IP packets *10.10.1.0/24*. Use the lshw
+Linux command to list all network interfaces and the corresponding slots
+*[0000:xx:yy.z]*. For example, the interface *ens803f0* is connected to slot *[87:00.0]*:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ NET2S22C05$ sudo lshw -class network -businfo
+ Bus info Device Class Description

+ pci@0000:87:00.1 ens803f1 network Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+
+
+For kernel forwarding, set 10.10.2.2 to the interface ens803f0, and add a static
+route for IP packet 10.10.1.0/24:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ NET2S22C05$ sudo ip addr add 10.10.2.2/24 dev ens803f0
+ NET2S22C05$ sudo ip link set dev ens803f0 up
+ NET2S22C05$ sudo ip route add 10.10.1.0/24 via 10.10.2.1
+
+After setting the route, you can ping from *csp2s22c03* to *net2s22c05*, and vice
+versa. However, in order to ping between *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04*, kernel IP
+forwarding in *csp2s22c03* has to be enabled:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ csp2s22c03$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
+ net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
+ csp2s22c03$ echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+ csp2s22c03$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
+ net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
+
+If successful, verify that now you can ping between *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04*:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ NET2S22C05$ ping 10.10.1.2 -c 3
+ PING 10.10.1.2 (10.10.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
+ 64 bytes from 10.10.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.239 ms
+ 64 bytes from 10.10.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.224 ms
+ 64 bytes from 10.10.1.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.230 ms
+
+We use the **iperf3** utility to measure network bandwidth between hosts. In this
+test, we download the **iperf3** utility tool on both *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04*.
+On *csp2s22c04*, we start the **iperf3** server with “iperf3 –s”, and then on *net2s22c05*,
+we start the **iperf3** client to connect to the server:

+Using VPP with Iperf3
+=====================
+
+First, disable kernel IP forward in *csp2s22c03* to ensure the host cannot use
+kernel forwarding (all the settings in *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04* remain unchanged):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ csp2s22c03$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

+ csp2s22c03$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
+ net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
+
+You can use DPDK’s device binding utility (./install-vpp-native/dpdk/sbin/dpdk-devbind)
+to list network devices and bind/unbind them from specific drivers. The flag “-s/--status”
+shows the status of devices; the flag “-b/--bind” selects the driver to bind. The
+status of devices in our system indicates that the two 40-GbE XL710 devices are located
+at 82:00.0 and 82:00.1. Use the device’s slots to bind them to the driver uio_pci_generic:

+Start the VPP service, and verify that VPP is running:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ csp2s22c03$ sudo service vpp start
+ csp2s22c03$ ps -ef | grep vpp
+ root 105655 1 98 17:34 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf
+ :w
+ 105675 105512 0 17:34 pts/4 00:00:00 grep --color=auto vpp
+
+To access the VPP CLI, issue the command sudo vppctl . From the VPP interface, list
+all interfaces that are bound to DPDK using the command show interface:
+
+VPP shows that the two 40-Gbps ports located at 82:0:0 and 82:0:1 are bound. Next,
+you need to assign IP addresses to those interfaces, bring them up, and verify:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface ip address FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/0 10.10.1.1/24
+ vpp# set interface ip address FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/1 10.10.2.1/24
+ vpp# set interface state FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/0 up
+ vpp# set interface state FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/1 up
+ vpp# show interface address
+ FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/0 (up):
+ 10.10.1.1/24
+ FortyGigabitEthernet82/0/1 (up):
+ 10.10.2.1/24
+ local0 (dn):
+
+At this point VPP is operational. You can ping these interfaces either from *net2s22c05*
+or *csp2s22c04*. Moreover, VPP can forward packets whose IP address are 10.10.1.0/24 and
+10.10.2.0/24, so you can ping between *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04*. Also, you can
+run iperf3 as illustrated in the previous example, and the result from running iperf3
+between *net2s22c05* and *csp2s22c04* increases to 20.3 Gbits per second.

+
+Using VPP with TRex
+===================
+
+In this example we use only two systems, *csp2s22c03* and *net2s22c05*, to run
+**TRex** VPP is installed on **csp2s22c03** and run as a packet forwarding
+engine. On *net2s22c05*, TRex is used to generate both client and server-side
+traffic. **TRex** is a high-performance traffic generator. It leverages DPDK and
+run in user space. Figure 2 illustrates this configuration.
+
+VPP is set up on *csp2s22c03* exactly as it was in the previous example. Only
+the setup on *net2s22c05* is modified slightly to run TRex preconfigured traffic
+files.
+
+.. figure:: /_images/trex.png
+
+Figure 2: The TRex traffic generator sends packages to the host that has VPP running.
+
+
+First we install **TRex**.

+
+Stop the previous VPP session and start it again in order to add a route for new
+IP addresses 16.0.0.0/8 and 48.0.0.0/8, according to Figure 2. Those IP addresses
+are needed because TRex generates packets that use these addresses. Refer to the

+these traffic templates.

+Summary
+=======
+
+This tutorial showed how to download, compile, and install the VPP binary on an
+Intel® Architecture platform. Examples of /etc/sysctl.d/80-vpp.conf and
+/etc/vpp/startup.conf/startup.conf configuration files were provided to get the
+user up and running with VPP. The tutorial also illustrated how to detect and bind
+the network interfaces to a DPDK-compatible driver. You can use the VPP CLI to assign
+IP addresses to these interfaces and bring them up. Finally, four examples using iperf3
+and TRex were included, to show how VPP processes packets in batches.
