Turns out is pretty trivial do drive veth pairs with vpp. They have a interface type which drives Linux host interfaces with AF_PACKET. Also, a nice man in containerlab discord pointed me to the fact that Ligato maintains a fd.io docker container. So even the minimal pain to write a Dockerfile is gone.
So, here is a minimal proof of concept lab (vpp only, no linux control plane, no FRR):
https://github.com/DanPartelly/clab-minimal-vpp
Once the lab is deployed:
docker exec clab-vpp01-r1 vppctl show int addr
docker exec clab-vpp01-r1 vppctl ping 10.1.0.2
Ivan, what do you think next steps should be to bring it to networklab ? Work first time on linux CP integration and FRR in containerlab, and then proceed with networklab things ?
