+standard high volume Servers. It augments well with a Test infrastructure to
help facilitate consistent/repeatable methodologies for characterizing &
validating the sample VNFs through OPEN SOURCE VNF approximations and test tools.
The VNFs belongs to this project are never meant for field deployment.
Supported deployment:
----------------------
* Bare-Metal - All VNFs can run on a Bare-Metal DUT
-* Standalone Virtualization: All VNFs can run on SV like VPP as switch, ovs,

* Openstack: Latest Openstack supported
Packet pROcessing eXecution Engine (PROX) which is a DPDK application.
PROX can do operations on packets in a highly configurable manner.
The PROX application is also displaying performance statistics that can

Intel® DPPD - PROX is an application built on top of DPDK which allows
creating software architectures, such as the one depicted below, through
small and readable configuration files.
+ This VNF can act as L2FWD, L3FWD, BNG etc.
