grout vs VPP

[maxime-peim]

Hi everyone,
I use VPP, which also does graph routing (and can use DPDK), so I wondered what differentiates grout from it.
Thanks!

Hello, grout is a DPDK application aimed at helping testing DPDK closer to real use cases than L3fwd for instance, so DPDK community can focus on optimising real life problems rather than lab use cases. VPP being part of many real applications, it just make sense for grout to look like VPP.
