Programmable data planes allow users to define their own data plane algorithms for network
devices including appropriate data plane application programming interfaces (APIs) which …

The network function virtualization (NFV) paradigm is an emerging technology that provides
network flexibility by allowing the allocation of network functions over commodity hardware …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

Data plane programmability brings network flexibility to a new level. However, it introduces
the complexity of the data path's program as a new factor that influences packet forwarding …

The gap between CPU and networking speeds has motivated the development of
SmartNICs for NF (network functions) offloading. However, offloading performance is …

Data plane programmability is a promising technology that enables rapid control loops for
the detection and mitigation of cyber-attacks. In this context, we propose an in-network …

The advent of programmable network switch ASICs and recent developments on other
programmable data planes (NPUs, FPGAs) drive the renewed interest in network data plane …

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is the application of the Internet of things (IoT)
technology in intelligent transportation systems. The vehicle accesses the IoV network …

We currently see a shift from fixed-function network devices with limited configurability
towards network devices with a fully programmable processing pipeline. A prominent …

Increasing demand for flexibility in datacenter networks has led researchers to propose
various designs of adaptable topologies using optical circuit switching. However …
