“…The works in [ 46 , 49 , 55 , 59 , 64 , 68 , 69 ] report processing latencies of 1.23 μs, 200 μs, 25 μs, 0.458 μs, 6 μs, 5 μs, and 0.739 μs, respectively. The study in [ 56 ] reports a latency reduction of 77% compared to common software implementations, while [ 61 ] shows a drop of 3.75x compared to a host based UPF deployment using DPDK. Furthermore, [ 44 ] specifies an end-to-end latency of 50 μs, which is useful for checking compliance with the KPIs from [ 10 ].…”

The rapid evolution of 5G and beyond technologies has sparked an unprecedented surge in the need for networking infrastructure that can deliver high speed, minimal latency, and remarkable flexibility. The programmable data plane, which enables the dynamic reconfiguration of network functions and protocols, is becoming increasingly important in meeting these requirements. This paper provides an overview of the current state of the art in programmable data planes implemented in 5G and beyond architectures. It proposes a classification of the reviewed studies based on system architecture and specific use cases. Furthermore, the article surveys the primary applications of programmable devices in emerging telecommunication networks, such as tunneling and forwarding, network slicing, cybersecurity, and in-band telemetry. Finally, this publication summarizes the open research challenges and future directions. In addition to offering a comprehensive review of programmable data plane applications in telecommunication networks, this article aims to guide further research in this promising field for network operators and researchers alike.
