I've created topology (using docker) with two nodes. On both there is configured bridge domain (loopback and memif). Ping from one node shutdown vpp (and docker also).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Created loopbacks and memifs (from example below) have to be set up before adding to bridge domain !

BTW, using ip4 addresses work

STEPS to reproduce:

1) create two nodes with running vpp with config
unix

{ nodaemon cli-listen 0.0.0.0:5002 cli-no-pager }

plugins {
plugin dpdk_plugin.so

{ disable }

}

2) Setup loopback & memif on node1:

binary-api create_loopback mac 8a:f1:be:90:00:00
binary-api memif_socket_filename_add_del add id 1 filename /tmp/memif_1_2.sock
binary-api memif_create id 1 socket-id 1 master
set int ip address loop0 fd30::1:b:0:0:1/64
set interface state loop0 up
set interface state memif1/1 up

3) Setup loopback & memif on node2:

binary-api create_loopback mac 8a:f1:be:90:00:01
binary-api memif_socket_filename_add_del add id 1 filename /tmp/memif_1_2.sock
binary-api memif_create id 1 socket-id 1 slave
set int ip address loop0 fd30::1:b:0:0:2/64
set interface state loop0 up
set interface state memif1/1 up

4) Setup bridge domain on both nodes:

create bridge-domain 1 arp-term 1
set interface l2 bridge loop0 1 bvi
set interface l2 bridge memif1/1 1

5) Ping from node1 to node2:

ping fd30::1:b:0:0:2 repeat 2
