2018 P4 Workshop Paper #18 Reviews and Comments =========================================================================== Paper #18 P4 meets 5G Review #18A =========================================================================== Overall merit ------------- 4. Accept Reviewer expertise ------------------ 3. Knowledgeable Paper summary ------------- This talk presents a new P4 compiler backend targeting Intel DPDK, along with a case study for a 5G network application. Comments for author ------------------- This is exciting work, especially given the relatively few open-source back-end compilers for P4. I would encourage the authors to highlight which parts of their case study were implemented using standard P4_16 features vs. custom externs implemented for this compiler/target architecture. Review #18B =========================================================================== Overall merit ------------- 4. Accept Reviewer expertise ------------------ 2. Some familiarity Paper summary ------------- Demo of using open source P4 compiler T4P4S-16 to support user plan functions in a 5G network between the end nodes and the internet. Comments for author ------------------- Directly on topic for this workshop and sounds interesting.
