This pull request introduces improvements and additions to the FD.io VPP project, aiming to enhance developer experience and streamline SRv6-related testing and development. The key contributions include:
Automated VPP Virtual Machine Setup:
Transition from deprecated Vagrant installation methods to a prepackaged VPP Vagrant box.
Simplifies the process of setting up a functional VPP environment.
SRv6 Testing Environment:
Motivation
Challenges Addressed:
The previous Vagrant setup relied on obsolete installation methods, creating barriers for developers attempting to use VPP in virtualized environments.
Lack of a ready-to-use SRv6 test environment posed a challenge for developers exploring VPP's SRv6 features.
Proposed Solutions:
Use a prebuilt Vagrant box to eliminate dependency issues.
Provide an automated SRv6 topology to accelerate testing and development cycles.
