Dear Sándor Laki,

Congratulations. The poster/demo entitled High speed packet forwarding
compiled from protocol independent data plane specifications that you have
submitted to SIGCOMM '16 Posters and Demos has been accepted. We received
102 submissions and the TPC has accepted 39 of them.

The reviews and TPC comments are attached below. We will send you an
additional email with instructions to prepare the camera-ready version of
your manuscript, which is due June 21.

You can also access your reviews through the website:

Paper #66: High speed packet forwarding compiled from protocol independent

                      Overall merit: 4. Accept

                      ===== Comments for author =====

This abstract describes a P4 compiler that translates to C using the Intel DPDK. Data-plane programmability in general, and P4 in particular are hot topics. However, there is a lack of open-source, publicly available compilers and tools available. This could be a valuable contribution, and an interesting demo. 

I would suggest you make a strong editing pass over the abstract to fix English and grammar mistakes.

                      ===== Comments for author =====

The paper/poster shows the approach to develop a high performance P4 (programming protocol independent packet processors) compiler.  The compiler works by seperating HW independent from HW dependent sections.
The compiler/demo will show that a P4 program (L2 switch, L3 router, etc) can be compiled to Intel DPDK enabled NIC and results in high performance.  However, the compiler/demo is currently limited to only Intel DPDK, which does not give evidence to the main goal of multiple targets.  Further, there are other P4 compilers that were not discussed from Xilinx (PX), Netronome, etc.  Further, it was not clear why a different hardware abstraction library (HAL) was needed and why the high level intermediate representation (HLIR) was not sufficient.  Also, what was the tradeoff of using other intermediate representations to accomplish the same goals such as openCL, LLVM, etc.
