To professor Fernando Ramos, for proposing so interesting a subject for my dissertation, and supervising it. To my open office coworkers for the friendly, fun mood, the evening karaokes and all the giggles. To Mihai Budiu of VMware, Antonin Bas of Barefoot Networks and Nate Foster of Cornell University for the continued attention to my e-mail messages and my interventions on the p4lang GitHub repositories. To Engineer Jeferson Santiago da Silva, MSc by Polytechnique Montréal, for responding to my e-mails regarding P4 externs so promptly and kindly. To Salvatore Signorello, for reviewing my written draft and pointing errors in it. To my (some current, some former) colleagues Ana Pereira, João Ferreira, Henrique Califórnia Mendes and Inês Gouveia for approaching me on my first spooky week in the Faculty of Sciences and integrating me into their group. If it hadn't been for that, I might have given up on university. To former colleagues Ricardo Tomaz and (again) Ana Pereira for the good times during our first year and the endless laughters. A special one to the conference group at my secondary school for being the most serious people I know. In particular, to Professor Armando Pedrosa. Another special one to Professor Guilherme Arroz of IST-ULisboa and doctor Luísa Barreto for being a source of encouragement. And a final one to my family for the support! Funding This work was partially supported by the European Commission through project FP7 SEGRID (607109) and project H2020 SUPERCLOUD (643964), and by national funds of Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) through project UID/-CEC/00408/2013 (LaSIGE). Finalmente, avaliámos a nossa solução através de vários testes de funcionalidade e comparámos ao NDN.p4 em termos de espaço ocupado pelas entradas da FIB.

“…While many P4 programs currently found in the literature are fairly small (DANG et al, 2015;LI et al, 2016;SIGNORELLO et al, 2016;JEPSEN et al, 2017;GHASEMI;BENSON;REXFORD, 2017;EDWARDS;CIARLEGLIO, 2017), the complexity of the algorithms implemented by P4 source code is expected to grow assuming that real world P4 programs will implement multiple protocols. This effect is already possible to observe on the DC.p4 and Switch programs, which aggregate a multitude of protocols a typical data center may need.…”

“…Similar to our idea of implementing an NDN node using a stateful SDN data plane, NDN.p4 provides a preliminary implementation of NDN node using P4 abstraction to program the data plane . In particular, Signorello et al enabled a P4 switch to process NDN Interest and Data packets. The switch implements PIT and FIB tables, but cache lookup is not implemented.…”

Named data networking (NDN) is an innovative paradigm to provide content-based services in future networks. As compared with legacy networks, naming of network packets and in-network caching of content make NDN more feasible for content dissemination. However, the implementation of NDN requires drastic changes to the existing network infrastructure. One feasible approach is to use software-defined networking (SDN), according to which the control of the network is delegated to a centralized controller, which configures the forwarding data plane. This approach leads to large signaling overhead and large end-to-end delays. In order to overcome these issues, we propose to enable NDN using a stateful data plane in the SDN network. In particular, we realize the functionality of an NDN node using a stateful SDN switch attached with a local cache for content storage and use OpenState to implement such an approach. In our solution, no involvement of the controller is required once the OpenState switch has been configured. We benchmark the performance of our solution against the traditional SDN approach considering several relevant metrics. Experimental results highlight the benefits of a stateful approach and of our implementation, which avoids signaling overhead and significantly reduces end-to-end delays.
