Complementary to controller-based programmable networking progress has been made in the field of the programmable data plane. In 2016 this research area SURFnet has explored packet authentication with P4 technology in a Mininet environment [1]. TNO has been exploring flexible protocol header parsing by exploiting eBPF technology that enables execution of simple packet manipulations for network interfaces. This research has contributed to other TNO research projects that are focused on creating ‘programmable’ IoT systems. These explorations illustrate the potential of data plane programmability, as well as the limitations in terms of the program complexity and performance constraints.
