## Reconsiling
The second important task of this utility is to take the wellformed (validated) configuration and
apply it to the VPP dataplane. The overall flow is this:
apply it to the VPP dataplane. The overall flow consists of three phases:
1. Prune phase (things in VPP that are not in the config), the order is:
1. Create phase (things in the config that are not in VPP), the order is:
1. Sync phase, for each interface in the configuration
When removing things, care has to be taken to remove inner-most objects first. For example,
QinQ/QinAD sub-interfaces should be removed before before their intermediary Dot1Q/Dot1AD. Another
example, MTU of parents should raise before their children, while children should shrink before their
parent. Order matters, so first the tool will ensure all items do not have config which they should
not, then it will ensure that all items that are not yet present, get created in the right order,
and finally for all interfaces, they are synchronized with the configuratino (IP addresses, MTU etc).
### Pruning
1. Retrieve all LCP interfaces from VPP

* Remove those that do not exist in the config
