Hello World in P4

Welcome to the Hello World in P4 page! Here, you'll find the source code for this program as well as a description of how the program works.

Current Solution

/* -*- P4_16 -*- */



/*************************************************************************

    This is a P4 "Hello World" code:

    When a packet arrives to the switch with some payload
    data of 88 bites, the switch will forward the packet 
    changing the payload to "Hello World".

    The program is not intended to calculate a new checksum,
    many errors can occur avoiding that process.
