Hi everyone,

I'm new to DPDK, I have a question on how to announce VIP through BGP for my LB based on DPDK.

The design looks like this:

I have multiple hosts (virtual machines or physical machines), every host advertising the same VIP, 10.0.0.10 for example.
Each LB host has two NICs, one for DPDK, one for admin purposes.
LB forward the packets to backend servers based on VIP configuration

Normally, I use Bird or Quagga for BGP advertising, but I don't know how to make BGP work with DPDK applications. Do I need to implement BGP within the DPDK application? It looks overkilling to me.

Looking forward to getting advice from you, or pointing me to any references.

Thanks very much.

Best wishes,

James
