The Basic P4 NFP NIC

This basic NIC lab is the first step and the building block for the more advanced P4 labs. Here we will create a simple NFP NIC implementation in Programmer Studio with P4, and touch on more advanced actions such as metering and load balancing.

The final solution to the lab is also provided for reference:

• p4lab1_lb_metering.p4
• p4rules_complete.p4cfg

Prerequisites

1. An installation of Netronome's Programmer Studio P4 Integrated Development Environment (available from link).
2. Access to a Linux server having a Netronome Agilio SmartNIC installed with its supporting board support utilities.

Getting Started

1. Download the source code.
