Our research on virtualization of programmable forwarding planes on the spotlight: paper accepted at IEEE Communications Letters!

We are delighted to know that our research on virtualization of programmable forwarding planes will appear in an upcoming issue of IEEE Communications Letters! In this paper, we present P4VBox, a reconfigurable architecture for data plane virtualization. Our solution provides parallel execution and hot-swapping of virtual switch instances, without requiring switch source code, just like any off-the-shelf OS virtualization solution.
