Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SafeNet (Safe Networks using P4 Programs)
Période du rapport: 2019-09-01 au 2021-05-31
The project involved close collaborations with two network equipment vendors, a major cloud and a major telco operator to guide the search for a deployable product. The result is a novel network performance verification that builds upon our starting point (P4 verification) and existing control and plane verification works in the literature to provide performance verification: runtime, passive monitoring of datacenter network performance to test that it behaves as expected.
We have finalised a prototype of EQDSmon, our solution, and have deployed it in trials with a telco operator that is deploying a datacenter network for its 5G core elements. EQDSmon is now the basis of an exponential growth phase that CNW will engage on starting 2022.
