--- _id: '15374' abstract: - lang: eng text: Emulation platforms supporting Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) allow developers to rapidly prototype network services. None of the available platforms, however, supports experimenting with programmable data planes to enable VNF offloading. In this demonstration, we show FOP4, a flexible platform that provides support for Docker-based VNFs, and VNF offloading, by means of P4-enabled switches. The platform provides interfaces to program the P4 devices and to deploy network functions. We demonstrate FOP4 with two complex example scenarios, demonstrating how developers can exploit data plane programmability to implement network functions. author: - first_name: Daniele full_name: Moro, Daniele last_name: Moro - first_name: Manuel full_name: Peuster, Manuel id: '13271' last_name: Peuster - first_name: Holger full_name: Karl, Holger id: '126' last_name: Karl - first_name: Antonio full_name: Capone, Antonio last_name: Capone citation: ama: 'Moro D, Peuster M, Karl H, Capone A.
