Description:
P4 , short for "Programming
Protocol-independent Packet Processors", is a programming language aimed at networking devices; it is useful for the configuration of firewalls and complicated routing architectures. Since a lot of advanced networking is
done with Linux systems, it stands to reason that there would be value in supporting P4 and, indeed, an
implementation of P4 in the kernel's traffic-control subsystem was
first posted by Jamal Hadi Salim at the beginning of 2023. After nearly 18months, though, this feature has not been merged, and the chances
of that happening would appear to be getting worse.
