However, implementing network functions that make use of those offload- ing technologies is still challenging and usually requires the availability of specialized hardware. It becomes even harder if heterogeneous services, making use of different offloading and network virtualization technologies, should be developed.\r\nIn this paper, we introduce FOP4 (Function Offloading Pro- totyping with P4), a novel prototyping platform that allows to prototype heterogeneous software network scenarios, including container-based, P4-switch-based, and SmartNIC-based network functions. The presented work substantially extends our existing Containernet platform with the means to prototype offloading scenarios. Besides presenting the platform’s system design, we evaluate its scalability and show that it can run scenarios with more than 64 P4 switch or SmartNIC nodes on a single laptop. Finally, we presented a case study in which we use the presented platform to prototype an extended in-band network telemetry use case.","lang":"eng"}],"ddc":["000"],"place":"Dallas","oa":"1","file":[{"file_name":"main_for_ris.pdf","creator":"peuster","date_updated":"2019-12-18T08:11:37Z","file_size":657216,"date_created":"2019-12-18T08:11:37Z","file_id":"15378","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file"}]}
