Before, interface_names was a literal copy of the VPPMessage() from sw_interface_details, so interfaces and interface_names kept the messages twice. This change makes interface_names a pointer to the index on interfaces. - Update the cache creation to make the indirection from interface_names to interfaces - Introduce get_interface_by_name() - Update/fix all the call sites Tested: - All unit tests and yamltests pass before and after this change - The hippo integration test passes before and after this change
A VPP Configuration Utility
This tool reads a configuration file, checks it for syntax and semantic correctness, and then reconciles a running VPP daemon with its configuration. It is meant to be re-entrant and stateless. The tool connects to the VPP API and creates/removes all of the configuration in a minimally intrusive way.
NOTE This code is under development, and probably won't work well until this note is removed. If you're interested in helping, reach out to <pim at ipng dot ch> to discuss options.
