Why Does the Internet Need a Programmable Forwarding Plane with Nick McKeown 

Nick McKeown, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Barefoot Networks, reviews the current state of network switches. The slow development time and functions fixed in silicon show why a programmable switch is appealing. Barefoot Networks sees this as the next evolution of domain specific processors, in the same vein as Java and OpenCL. Barefoot's take on this is Tofino, a P4 programmable network switch.
