    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for provisioning virtual private network (VPN) services for cloud native routers using a multi-stage process. In an example, a method comprises deploying, in a first computing device, using a layer 2 bridge domain that includes the first computing device, a containerized routing protocol process; deploying, in the first computing device, using the layer 2 bridge domain, a containerized application; configuring, in the containerized routing protocol process executing on the first computing device, a virtual private network (VPN); and exchanging, by the containerized routing protocol process executing on the first computing device, routing protocol messages with another router to provide virtual connectivity between the containerized application and another application that is external to the first computing device.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for deploying virtualized cell site routers (vCSRs) capable of layer 2 (L2) forwarding to cell site servers to support management and orchestration of functional units for mobile networks executing on the cell site servers. In an example, a method comprises receiving, at a forwarding plane of a virtualized cell site router (vCSR) of a first Distributed Unit (DU) of a plurality of DU servers of a cell site for a 5G radio access network, the vCSR having a containerized routing protocol process and a forwarding plane configured to perform Layer 2 (L2) switching, L2 packets on a second interface for a second physical link connecting the first DU server to an L2 switch; and switching, by the forwarding plane of the vCSR of the first DU, the L2 packets on a first interface for a first physical link connecting the first DU server to a second DU server of the plurality of DU servers.

    Abstract: Example techniques and computing devices are disclosed. An example computing device includes a first non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node and a second NUMA nod. The first NUMA node includes a first network interface card, a first virtual router for one or more virtual networks, the first virtual router comprising first processing circuitry and configured with a first virtual host interface having a first Internet Protocol (IP) address, and a first workload executing on the first NUMA node. The second NUMA node includes a second network interface card, a second virtual router for the one or more virtual networks, the second virtual router comprising second processing circuitry and configured with a second virtual host interface having a second IP address, and a second workload executing on the second NUMA node.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for deploying and managing a virtual router having Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) functionality to a computing device. In an example, a method includes creating, by a container orchestration platform executing on a computing device, a virtual router custom resource instance of a virtual router custom resource definition, the virtual router custom resource instance for a virtual router to execute on the computing device; based on configuration data for the virtual router custom resource instance, by the container orchestration platform, modifying the virtual router custom resource instance with the configuration data and deploying a first virtual computing instance comprising a virtual router configured according to the modified virtual router custom resource instance; and executing, by the computing device, the virtual router to process a packet.
