Szia Sanyi,

Itt van az üzenet, amit az Edge-Core Európai képviselőivel leveleztem a 
Barefoot ASIC alapú P4 hardver switchről.
Szerintem mindenképp baromi érdekes lehet kísérletezni ezen a 
platformon, mert jó áron a van a sebességéhez képest. Persze itthon 
nehéz 14.000$-t csak úgy előrántani, de ha valami testbed-et terveztek, 
szerintem érdemes ezt bevenni.
Addig is mi inkább az egyel hátrébb lévő programozható hardverekkel 
fokunk dolgozni idén Pongrácz Geriékkel, amik leginkább ezeket az 
API-kat támogatják:
OF-DPA: https://github.com/Broadcom-Switch/of-dpa -> ezek leginkább 
Broadcom ASIC alapú Edge-Core cuccokon érhetőek el
OpenNSL: https://github.com/Broadcom-Switch/OpenNSL -> ezek szintén 
Broadcom + Edge-Core cuccokon mennek
SAI: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/SAI -> ezt főleg Mellanox 
Spectrum ASIC-ek támogatják, ezt használja a Microsoft az Azure Cloude-ban

Üdv,
Peti

That is pretty new RP.

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/barefoot-networks-shares-tofino-based-wedge-100b-switch-designs-with-open-compute-project-2190248.htm

Edgecore will ship two switches designed with Barefoot’s programmable 
Tofino switch silicon:

  * Edgecore Wedge100BF-65X,  a 2U switch with 6*5* x 100G QSFP28 ports
  * Edgecore Wedge100BF-32X,  a 1U switch with 32 x 100G QSFP28 ports

The Wedge100BF switches are positioned as the most programmable switches 
in the market, programmable with the P4 language: http://p4.org/

Both Wedge100BF switches have similar elements of the Edgecore 
Wedge100-32X switch, including an internal CPU module based on the Com-E 
standard, a BMC controller on the main switch board, similar port layout 
on the front panel, and the same set of management ports on the front 
and rear panels.

Evaluation units will be available for delivery to end customers /in 
*very limited quantities as follows*/.

  * Edgecore Wedge100BF-65X,  March 15
  * Edgecore Wedge100BF-32X,  March 30

*Volume availability is expected in Q3*. We are out of any samples today.

Barefoot makes available its Software Development Environment (SDE) 
package for the Wedge100BF switches. The SDE allows a technically 
proficient end customer to program the switches with the P4 programming 
language.  The SDE consists of a Linux distribution with P4 compiler, 
programming and simulation tools.

The SDE is available to customers under a free-of-charge Software 
Evaluation License Agreement that the end customer would sign with 
Barefoot. Edgecore and Barefoot are working with commercial NOS partners 
to establish NOS support for the Wedge100BF switches. We will keep you 
informed as plans are finalized.

Today we have only an evaluation prices since we are not under the mass 
production today:
