This lab series introduces programmable data plane switches and their role in the Software-defined Networking (SDN) paradigm.
This lab series introduces programmable data plane switches and their role in the Software-defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. The labs provide a hands-on introduction to the Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors (P4), the de facto programming language used to describe the behavior of the data planes of programmable switches.
