New repository request for project SPP
Hi Thomas,
SPP: Soft Patch Panel, a new project on top of DPDK library.
Code is close to its first release, and we would like to open source the project and host it under dpdk.org.
Can you please create a new repository under dpdk.org named "spp", and add me as the maintainer of the repo?
Main contributors of the project are Sy Jong Choi and Gerald Rogers, but the project is be open to anyone and we would be happy to see other contributors.
For now it is planned to used dpdk mail list for announcements and for urgent issues.
High Level Description:
SPP is a framework for managing DPDK resources.
The goal of SPP is to easily interconnect DPDK applications together, and assign resources dynamically to these applications to build a pipeline.
The first version of SPP provides for the management of DPDK ports, and assigning ports to different DPDK applications.
The framework is composed of a primary DPDK application that is responsible for resource management. This primary application doesn't interact with any traffic, and is used to manage creation and freeing of resources only.
A Python based management interface is provided to control the primary DPDK application to create resources, which are then to be used by secondary applications. This management application provides a socket based interface for the primary and secondary DPDK applications to interface to the manager. The management application will use OVSDB to maintain all created and assigned ports.
Thanks,
ferruh

Why have you pushed the DPDK code in this repository? It is supposed to be an independent application, not an example.

Target is to make it independent application, not example. Currently it is sitting in the example folder, because that is how it started.
The plan is to separate it completely when it becomes more mature.
