xdp-vagrant | Collection of vagrant scripts for testing xdp

xdp-vagrant is a Shell library. xdp-vagrant has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However xdp-vagrant has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

In order to try out the XDP functionality, it would be nice to have a playground. This could be useful if you are worried about experimental kernels (not sure why you're reading this, but hey...) or if you don't have the required hardware to run XDP. This repo thus provides a vagrant based vm for you to try it out. We'll simply install the necessary kernel and some userspace tools to be able to load your program. Note that the vm will use an e1000 driver, which won't show much performance difference from the normal stack. Trust us that it would perform much better on real hardware. (If someone tries this on non-libvirt vagrant, file a /issue and we can simplify the prerequisites.). For convenience, there is a pre-built 4.8 rc kernel which includes the e1000 patch from git:ast/xdp. Feel free to build your own, or if you're reading this from the future, likely 4.9 will have support for it. First, bring the vagrant box up, with userspace tools (bcc) and custom kernel. You should find that the vm has two interfaces, we'll use the second one for testing and the first one for ssh.
