2023 P4 Workshop

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 incorporates insights and perspectives from the P4 community across 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.
