* @section sec_1 Introduction
*
* OpenDataPlane (ODP) provides a data plane application programming
* environment that is easy to use, high performance, and portable
* between networking SoCs. This documentation is both a user guide
* for developers who wish to use ODP and a detailed reference for ODP
* programmers covering APIs, data structures, files, etc. It should
* also be useful for those wishing to implement ODP on other
* platforms.
*

*
* ODP consists of a common layer and an implementation layer.
* Applications written to the common layer are portable across all
* ODP implementations. To compile and run an ODP application, it is
* compiled against a specific ODP implementation layer. The purpose
* of the implementation layer is to provide an optimal mapping of ODP
* APIs to the underlying capabilities (including hardware
* co-processing and acceleration support) of SoCs hosting ODP
* implementations. As a bootstrapping mechanism for applications, as
* well as provide a model for ODP implementers, ODP provides a
* 'linux-generic' reference implementation designed to run on any SoC
* which has a Linux kernel. While linux-generic is not a performance
* target, it does provide a starting point for ODP implementers and
* application programmers alike. As a pure software implementation
* of ODP, linux-generic is designed to provide best-in-class performance
* for general Linux data plane support.
