Dataplane Commands
==================
The zebra dataplane subsystem provides a framework for FIB
programming. Zebra uses the dataplane to program the local kernel as
it makes changes to objects such as IP routes, MPLS LSPs, and
interface IP addresses. The dataplane runs in its own pthread, in
order to off-load work from the main zebra pthread.
.. index:: show zebra dplane [detailed]
.. clicmd:: show zebra dplane [detailed]
Display statistics about the updates and events passing through the
dataplane subsystem.
.. index:: show zebra dplane providers
.. clicmd:: show zebra dplane providers
Display information about the running dataplane plugins that are
providing updates to a FIB. By default, the local kernel plugin is
present.
.. index:: zebra dplane limit [NUMBER]
.. clicmd:: zebra dplane limit [NUMBER]
Configure the limit on the number of pending updates that are
waiting to be processed by the dataplane pthread.
