feat: flip swap mechanism — MD as primary, RST as override (Phase 1)
This is the first of three phases inverting the per-page swap mechanism so MD becomes the canonical primary and RST becomes the rare override. Phase 1 — file renames + conf.py exclude_patterns flip only: - Rename docs/**/md-<stem>.md to docs/**/<stem>.md (drop md- prefix) for all 254 stems previously listed in docs/_swap.txt - Rename docs/**/<stem>.rst to docs/**/rst-<stem>.rst (add rst- prefix) for the same 254 stems - Repurpose docs/_swap.txt as docs/_rst_overrides.txt; initially empty comment-only since no pages need the RST fallback right now - conf.py exclude_patterns flipped: rst-*.rst is now excluded by default instead of md-*.md - conf.py runtime-artifact references updated to _rst_override_state.json and _md_exclude.txt (Phase 2 will rewrite swap_sources.py to produce these names; for now no swap script runs because overrides list is empty) Phase 2 (next commit on this branch) will rewrite scripts/swap_sources.py with inverted rename direction, delete scripts/import_myst.py + tests, and update tests/test_swap_sources.py for the new semantics. Phase 3 will be the cleanup pass and ready-for-review flip. Generated by robots https://vyos.io

-# VPP Dataplane Limitations
-
-VPP Dataplane provides significant performance advantages, but has some
-limitations you should consider.
-
-- **Feature Parity**
-
- VPP does not support all features available in the Linux kernel dataplane.
- Some networking features, specific protocols, or services may not be
- available.
-
- While VPP supports various interface types similar to the kernel, their
- capabilities may differ.
-
-- **NIC and Driver Compatibility**
-
- VyOS currently supports only DPDK drivers for network interfaces.
- Not all network interface cards are compatible with DPDK drivers.
-
-- **Data Path Limitations**
-
- If a feature exists only in the kernel dataplane, traffic that uses that
- feature cannot traverse VPP interfaces. Examples include:
-
- - Firewall
- - QoS
-
- When traffic uses the pure VPP path, it does not reach the kernel, where
- such features are implemented. Plan how traffic flows through your VyOS
- instance to ensure it reaches the necessary features.
-
- VPP provides native alternatives for some features. For example, VPP
- native ACLs provide basic firewall functionality.
