**********************
Dataplane Stack v25.06
**********************
New Features
============
* Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW) use case
* Added new components required by NGFW: Snort, Vectorscan, libDAQ
Changed
=======
Main software components versions:
* DPDK v24.11
* VPP v25.02
* Snort 3.3.2.0
* Vectorscan 5.4.11
* libDAQ 3.0.16
Tested platforms Ubuntu version:
* Ubuntu 22.04
Documentation:
* Removed separate quickstart guide in favor of restructuring the main guide to include it
Limitations
===========
* Arm Neoverse reference design software solutions are example software projects containing downstream versions of open source components. Although the components in these solutions track their upstream versions, users of these solutions are responsible for ensuring that, if necessary, these components are updated before use to ensure they contain any new functional or security fixes that may be required.
* Does not provide native traffic generator for all use cases.
Resolved Issues
===============
None.
Known Issues
============
* Snort may fail to start with some core configurations in the NGFW use case. See NGFW documentation for more details.
