## API changes
- Python API: To avoid conflicts between VPP API messages names and
the Python API binding function names, VPP API methods are put in a
separate proxy object.
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5570/
The api methods are now referenced as:
vpp_handle = VPP(jsonfiles)
vpp_handle.connect(...)
vpp = vpp_handle.api
vpp.show_version()
vpp_handle.disconnect()
For backwards compatibility VPP API methods are left in the main
name space (VPP), but will be removed from 17.07.
- Python API: Change from cPython to CFFI.
- create_loopback message to be replaced with create_loopback_instance
create_loopback will be removed from 17.07.

enhance and innovate around the Vector Packet Processing (VPP) technology. The
FD.io community has quickly formed to grow the number of projects from the
initial VPP project to an additional 6 projects addressing a diverse set of
requirements and usability across a variety of deployment environments.
The 16.06 release brings unprecedented performance: 480Gbps/200mpps with 8
million routes and 2k whitelist entries on standard high volume x86 servers.

16.06 release adds:
* Enhanced Switching and Routing:
* IPv6 Segment Routing multicast support.
* LISP xTR support.
* VXLAN over IPv6 underlay.
* Per interface whitelists.
* Shared adjacencies in FIB.
* New and improved interface support:
* Jumbo frame support for vhost-user.
