There are quite a few sizable businesses (hundreds of MUSD) built on it / depending on it, that I know of :)

  out of curiosity, is it mostly Cisco still funding it? what are the advantages over dpdk? mostly TCP?

    The funding - I believe organizationally it has now grown into https://lfnetworking.org/about/members/ https://lfnetworking.org/about/members/ and fd.io is just one of the projects. Contributions-wise to VPP: varies from time to time. On my very recent memory there were sizable IPSec acceleration patches from folks at Intel. There is a fair few one off bugfixes coming from smaller users who scratch their own itch. Pim van Pelt [0] has contributed/improved a few very cool and sizable features (Linux control plane integration, VPP yaml configurator [1]) As for difference with DPDK - does it do L3 routing? NAT ? MAP ? MPLS ? DHCP ? VPP can do all of this, and of course it’s just off top of my memory… https://docs.fd.io/vpp/22.10/aboutvpp/featurelist.html https://docs.fd.io/vpp/22.10/aboutvpp/featurelist.html is the autogenerated feature list based on the “claimed official features” that are tracked via YAML files in the source code.
