Demo: Implementing advanced network functions with stateful programmable data planes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Stateful programmable dataplanes are emerging as a disruptive technology and an enabler factor for network function virtualization in SDN environments. In this demo paper we show three real world use cases with stateful forwarding requirements to validate both the hardware and software implementations of the Open Packet Processor data plane.
