P4 Control Plane

This repository is the superproject for P4 Control Plane. It is the successor to P4-OVS.

• also called the IPDK Networking Recipe
• formally known as P4-OVS Split Architecture

P4 Control Plane modularizes P4-OVS and reduces coupling between its components, making the code easier to maintain and more suitable for upstreaming.

It moves the P4-specific components of the architecture from ovs-vswitchd to a separate process called infrap4d.

See the Overview section of the User Guide for a description of the components.

Major changes

The Stratum dependencies component has formally moved from the setup directory to a new https://github.com/ipdk-io/stratum-deps repository.

See the README file in the setup directory for more information.
