Contribution to Google Summer of Code 2025 with the P4 Language Consortium
GSOC2025-topic-1
The project "P4Sim Control Plane Enhancement", developed around P4Sim, has been officially accepted by the P4 Language Consortium for the Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2025 program. It focuses on extending the ns-3 network simulator with P4-based programmable data plane support, enabling researchers to experiment with protocol-independent packet processing models directly within simulation environments.
This contribution strengthens the bridge between P4 and ns-3, supporting the research community in early prototyping, validation, and education in programmable networking and low-latency communication—core areas for the development of future tactile internet technologies.
We would like to express our appreciation to Vineet Goel for his valuable contributions to this project, which contributions mainly listed in this PR.
