.. _vpp_plugins: ======= Plugins ======= vlib implements a straightforward plug-in DLL mechanism. VLIB client applications specify a directory to search for plug-in .DLLs, and a name filter to apply (if desired). VLIB needs to load plug-ins very early. Once loaded, the plug-in DLL mechanism uses dlsym to find and verify a vlib\_plugin\_registration data structure in the newly-loaded plug-in. For more on plugins please refer to :ref:`add_plugin`. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 quic cnat lcp srv6/index marvell lldp nat64 nat44_ei_ha nat44_ed_doc pnat lb lacp flowprobe map_lw4o6 mdata dhcp6_pd ioam wireguard srtp acl_multicore acl_hash_lookup acl_lookup_context bufmon_doc
