<br>
<br>
I'm writing to submit a proposal for a talk at the 3rd P4
Workshop.
<br>
<br>
Title: High speed forwarding: a P4 compiler with a hardware
abstraction library
for Intel DPDK<br>
<br>
Abstract: In cooperation with Ericsson our team from Eötvös Loránd
University, Budapest, Hungary works on a P4 compiler that
separates the hardware specific and hardware independent program
functionalities. According to this design, the core compiler
generates a target independent core program that relies on a
target-specific hardware abstraction library representing an
abstraction layer between the actual hardware and the P4 program.
This design enables us to switch to a new hardware without writing
a new P4 compiler and recompiling the original P4 program, since
the core program always remains the same and the underlying
target-specific library will only be changed. In this talk, we
will present the current status of our target independent core
compiler, the challenges we faced during the development, an Intel
DPDK-based implementation of the hardware abstraction library and
the performance test results. According to the first experiments,
our DPDK-based L2 switch compiled from a P4 code can reach 9.1
Gbps forwarding rate on a single core setup with 10 Gbps line
cards and Ethernet probe packets of 64 bytes. The testbed
preparation for 40 Gbps and other more complex scenarios is on
going. <br>
