grout stands for Graph Router. In English, "grout" refers to thin mortar that
hardens to fill gaps between tiles.
grout is a DPDK based network processing application. It uses the rte_graph
library for data path processing.
Its main purpose is to simulate a network function or a physical router for
testing/replicating real (usually closed source) VNF/CNF behavior with an
open-source tool.
It comes with a client library to configure it over a standard UNIX socket and
a CLI that uses that library. The CLI can be used as an interactive shell, but
also in scripts one command at a time, or by batches.
Update Information:
New version of frr and grout. I am keeping libyang to version 3 at the moment due to recommendations from https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/blob/master/doc/developer/building-libyang.rst. Once changes to build with libyang5 land, I will rebase libyang as well.
