From its humble academic origins, P4 has grown into a vibrant open-source project, with a dedicated community of researchers and practitioners united by a shared mission: to create a deeply programmable platform that puts network owners, not equipment vendors and standards bodies, in control of their networks. The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) recently announced that […]
The µONOS SDN platform is the next generation architecture of ONOS and has evolved from our experience building and deploying ONOS or ONOS-classic, which has been a leader in the open source SDN control plane space. The principal goal for this project, which is still under way, is to update the architectural approach of the […]
I recently returned from an invigorating and productive set of open broadband community meetings in Berlin, where it was absolutely wonderful to see everyone again. We didn’t know what the appetite would be for gathering in person, but the event was oversubscribed and we had a great turnout. It had been 3 years since the […]

This P4 blog was contributed by Sunil Ahluwalia, Sr. Director, Product Management, Intel The launch of P4-programmable Ethernet switch ASICs revolutionized data center, telecommunications and enterprise networking. Now, P4-based switching is getting better with the opening of the Intel® Tofino™ Native Architecture (TNA) to the developer community. This blog post marks a big milestone in […]
The Aether platform brings together multiple ONF projects to create a solution for private 4G/5G mobile connectivity. The User Plane Function (UPF) is a fundamental piece of the mobile core network architecture. It is a specialized router that handles all user-generated traffic to and from the radio base stations. In this post, we focus on […]
Contributed by Reshma Sudarshan, Director Applications Engineering, Intel At the 2021 P4 Workshop, engineering leaders from Google and Intel presented on a new standards-based way to extend software defined networking (SDN) into a P4-programmable device. This is big news because one of the significant advantages of P4 is the ability to host network functions in […]
This blog was previously published in the SIDN Labs blog on May 25, 2021. As part of the 2STiC programme, we’ve been evaluating and experimenting with future internet architectures at SIDN Labs. One of the architectures that we are looking at is SCION. SCION stands for Scalability, Control and Isolation on Next-Generation Networks, and is […]
