RARE user and assistance email list

[Frédéric LOUI <>]

Hi David, (Sorry for the late reply, I was AFK)

Most of documentation is here:
http://docs.freertr.org/

From there, you’ll find freeRtr docs WRT native socket forwarding.
For your P4 switch this is ~ similar as it uses freeRtr control plane..

Getting started: 
http://docs.freertr.org/guides/getting-started/001-hello-world/

Basics: http://docs.freertr.org/guides/recipes/basics/

As Eoin mentioned, full references or what is called test cases are here:
http://www.freertr.org/tests.html

I hope you’d find your way.

Don’t hesitate to get back to us should you need more assistance.
Which documentation you would feel it is missing ?

Your fresh pair of eyes is valuable to us so we can adjust the documentation.

If needed we can still have a VC in order to get you up to speed.
It will also help us to appreciate the pain points.

All the best
Frederic
