1.1. Overview

SPP container is a set of tools for running SPP and DPDK applications with docker. It consists of shell or python scripts for building container images and launching app containers with docker commands.

As shown in Fig. 1.1, all of DPDK applications, including SPP primary and secondary processes, run inside containers. SPP controller is just a python script and does not need to be run as an app container.
