Network Processing Forum Completes IPv4 Software Agreement

The Network Processing Forum (NPF) released an IPv4 Unicast Forwarding Service Application Programming Interface (API) Implementation Agreement (IA) intended to help enable the development of IPv4 forwarding software solutions from independent software and network processor vendors. The specification will also simplify the task System OEMs face in migrating their existing control-plane software to network processor-based systems. The IPv4 Unicast Forwarding Service API Implementation Agreement is available for free online.
