## To save the api message table decode tables, configure a filename. Results in

## In the VPP there is one main thread and optionally the user can create
worker(s)
## The main thread and worker thread(s) can be pinned to CPU core(s) manually
or automatically
## Manual pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
## Set logical CPU core where main thread runs, if main core is not set
## VPP will use core 1 if available
# main-core 1
## Set logical CPU core(s) where worker threads are running
# corelist-workers 2-3,18-19
## Automatic pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
## Sets number of CPU core(s) to be skipped (1 ... N-1)
## Skipped CPU core(s) are not used for pinning main thread and working
thread(s).
## The main thread is automatically pinned to the first available CPU core
and worker(s)
## are pinned to next free CPU core(s) after core assigned to main thread
# skip-cores 4
## Specify a number of workers to be created
## Workers are pinned to N consecutive CPU cores while skipping "skip-cores"
CPU core(s)
## and main thread's CPU core
# workers 2
## Set scheduling policy and priority of main and worker threads
## Scheduling policy options are: other (SCHED_OTHER), batch (SCHED_BATCH)
## idle (SCHED_IDLE), fifo (SCHED_FIFO), rr (SCHED_RR)
# scheduler-policy fifo
## Scheduling priority is used only for "real-time policies (fifo and rr),
## and has to be in the range of priorities supported for a particular policy
# scheduler-priority 50
