WueWoWas'23: Best Workshop Contribution Award

Best Contribution Award at WueWoWas 2023

Our publication "Never Miss Twice - Add-On-Miss Table Updates in Software Data Planes" has been awarded as the one Best Workshop Contribution at the KuVS Fachgespräch - Würzburg Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Next-Generation Communication Networks 2023 (WueWoWas’23).

In our work, we investigated the potential and performance of state insertions in P4 programmable data planes. Together with our previous work on updatable table entries, add-on-miss insertions enable powerful state-heavy applications with high performance directly in the data plane. The idea of add-on-miss insertions is brought up by the upcoming P4 Portable NIC Architecture targeting P4 applications running on the end hosts. We showed that the overhead of add-on-miss insertions in software targets is small, and therefore the approach is suited to run at line rate.
