VSAP will firstly focus on Nginx VPP host stack acceleration, and then cover more projects in the long term. The initial code is contributed from Intel and Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Scope

VSAP's main responsibility is to provide an accelerated and high performance version of the well-deployed Open source projects, and we are targeting to make this work can be finally upstream to the original project.
