Why MintFlow uses VPP
Why MintFlow NetStack is built on fd.io VPP and how it benefits Apple platform networking.
Why MintFlow NetStack chooses VPP
MintFlow NetStack chose VPP (Vector Packet Processing) as its core networking technology because it provides high throughput, a modular architecture, and long-term reliability.
Performance at scale
VPP processes packets in vectors instead of one-by-one. This significantly reduces per-packet overhead and improves CPU cache efficiency.
Modular architecture
VPP plugins let MintFlow implement VPN and proxy features while keeping a clean core stack.
Production-grade reliability
As an Apache-licensed project under the Linux Foundation, VPP has broad production usage and an active release cadence.
Future-proof base
Building on VPP keeps MintFlow aligned with ongoing networking innovations across cloud and telecom ecosystems.
Porting VPP to Apple platforms
With deep experience in VPP internals and OS networking, we ported VPP to Darwin-based systems while preserving performance and stability characteristics.
