Starting with an overview of switching\, routing\, and Software-Defined networking (SDN)\, it examines how P4 compares to traditional network architectures in terms of flexibility and efficiency. The session highlights P4’s key use cases\, ecosystem components (such as compilers\, target platforms\, and open-source tools)\, and its role in addressing modern networking challenges. Attendees will learn about standard protocols\, practical workflows for developing\, deploying\, and testing P4 code\, and how P4 is contributing to the evolution of network design and management. \n\n \n\n\nDate & Time\nSaturday\, 11th January 2025 \n10:00 AM to 1:00 PM IST \n\n\nLocation\nOJone Building\, 72\, Service Rd\, LRDE Layout\, Doddanekundi\, Bengaluru\,\nKarnataka 560037\, India \nView on Google Maps\n \n\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nRahul Hada\nLinkedIn \n\n\n \nAmith GSPN\nLinkedIn \n\n\n\nRahul Hada\nRahul Hada is an experienced Engineering Manager with over 16 years of professional expertise in IT\, research\, and leadership.
