The 2023 P4 Workshop will take place at Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, CA. Note there is no on-site registration. View the map for location of the building and room for the event each day.

The P4 Workshop is an opportunity for the P4 ecosystem to share knowledge and experiences with the broader community and to facilitate collaboration. The workshop will incorporate insights and perspectives from the P4 community in the following key areas:

• P4 language
• P4 targets
• P4 tool chain
• P4 use cases & applications
• Control plane or network OS for P4 targets
• Extensions to P4
• Cross-cutting work between P4 and related systems such as eBPF and service meshes.

A Message from Our Sponsors

Google has pioneered Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in data centers for over a decade. With the open sourcing of PINS (P4 Integrated Network Stack) two years ago, Google has ushered in a new model to remotely configure network switches. PINS brings in a P4Runtime application container to the SONiC architecture and supports extensions that make it easier for operators to realize the benefits of SDN. We look forward to enhancing the PINS capabilities and continue to support the P4 community in the future.

P4 is here to stay. It started with programmable Ethernet switches and is scaling through IPUs and FPGAs.  Direct support of P4 within the Linux kernel is another important use case we see emerging.  As an unambiguous way of specifying requirements, the future for P4 is bright and our commitment & investment at Intel is continuing to grow.
