<pre>Hi Sándor,
I saw your talk on the P4 to DPDK compiler at the P4 Workshop at
Stanford University. It is a very exciting project!
I am an assistant professor at the University of Lugano (USI), where
we have been working on implementing Paxos in the P4 language. We have
a tech report on the work here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/soule/usi-tr-2016-03.pdf">http://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/soule/usi-tr-2016-03.pdf</a>
So far, our efforts have focused on targeting FPGAs, but we are also
interested in seeing if we could get similar performance benefits in
software using some kernel by-pass technologies. So, we thought to run
some basic experiments with DPDK.
We have no experience with DPDK, but I thought that maybe we could
leverage some of the work you guys have already done with your
compiler.
One idea I had: we recently started a scholarship program at Lugano
for master's students from other universities to visit Switzerland for
three months to work on a research project:

If you have a promising masters student who is familiar with your
project, perhaps they could visit USI for a short time to run Paxos in
our testbed using your compiler?
best wishes,
Robert
