P4 Programmable Data Planes: Building Custom Pipelines and INT

By James Relington

P4 Programmable Data Planes: Building Custom Pipelines and INT explores the transformative role of programmability in modern networking, guiding readers through the foundations of the P4 language, the design of custom packet processing pipelines, and the integration of in-band network telemetry for real-time visibility and control. Covering core concepts, advanced use cases, and emerging applications across cloud, 5G, and ISP environments, this book provides a comprehensive journey from parsing and match-action tables to machine learning integration and service function chaining, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. It serves as a detailed resource for understanding how P4 redefines flexibility, performance, and innovation in data plane design.
