From 5a35f4d30e5c16bd85e811176cffa86b721112b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Andamasov Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 18:59:58 +0300 Subject: refactor(swap): rename imported .md files to md- prefix for swap mechanism MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Restore the canary file naming convention that swap_sources.py expects: the imported MyST pages now live as docs//md-.md alongside the existing docs//.rst, so swap_sources.py --swap can rename them into place at build time. - 254 .md files renamed (every page with a matching .rst counterpart) - 2 MyST-only pages left at their final names (no .rst exists, no swap needed): docs/copyright.md, docs/automation/terraform/terraformvyos.md All 114 stems listed in docs/_swap.txt now have a corresponding md-.md source file ready to swap in. 🤖 Generated by [robots](https://vyos.io) --- docs/vpp/md-limitations.md | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/vpp/md-limitations.md (limited to 'docs/vpp/md-limitations.md') diff --git a/docs/vpp/md-limitations.md b/docs/vpp/md-limitations.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9582347a --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/vpp/md-limitations.md @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +--- +lastproofread: '2026-02-17' +--- + +(vpp-limitations)= + +```{include} /_include/need_improvement.txt +``` + +# 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.
