Christian Esteve Rothenberg, SMARTNESS PI and Director, Francisco G. Vogt, Fabricio Rodríguez Cesen and Filipo Gabert Costa (UNICAMP), Marcelo Caggiani Luizelli (UNIPAMPA), Gyanesh Patra and Gergely Pongrácz (Ericsson Research) have a new publication in the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (ACM SIGCOMM) held in Sydney, Australia, August 4 – 8, 2024.

The Demo“P4 Replay (P4R): Reproducing Packet Traces and Stateful Connections at Line-Rate on Your P4-capable Hardware”, was selected as one of the semifinalists in the Student Research Competition (SRC) and won the second-place award: Student Research Competition (SRC) award runner-up. Congratulations to the full team of researchers from INTRIG/UNICAMP, UNIPAMPA, and Ericsson Research.

The authors introduce P4 Replay (P4R), a network tester based on a programmable switch ASIC capable of reproducing real packet traces and establishing high-performance stateful TCP connections. P4R can test external clients and servers with high throughput and accuracy as well as self-testing P4 applications running in parallel on the same device.
