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. |
