Thanks, Marie-Jose

IMHO:

- P4 in research short-term:
  Researchers can not do real-world relevant PoC with just BMV2, because it has no constraints.
  All those papers claiming some problem can be solved with P4 and then just use BMV2 are just
  so painful to read/listen-to. We really need a BMV2 with the exact constraints of Tofino,
  and given how Intel is deinvesting from Tofino, maybe they would finally be willing to
  publish those constraints outside of NDA so this can be implemented into BMV2.

- SmartNICs:
  P4 is not the right DSL for SmartNICs even if Intel may say so because they want to 
  sell SmartNICs and have a brand with P4. SmartNICs are much more flexible, and programming then
  in P4 constraints you. If you don't know anything better, try eBPF. That is AFAIK the 
  most widely adopted DSL today to span general purpose CPU (host/router CPU), and SmartNICs.

  SmartNICs are a great target FPE for forwarding plane features you do not need on every hop,
  but for example only on few "can be more expensive" hops. WAN interface of site-edge-routers
  (Campus, Home, WAN) for example. But do not try to assume they would be used beyond that
  (on every hop == especially on higher aggregation speed links!).

- P4/Coin for higher-than-forwarding-plane features:
  With Tofino disappearing, i think we should caution researchers to NOT invest cycles trying to
  implement solutions on P4 with the explicit purpose of "abusing" Tofino, aka: Program a
  non-forwarding-plane problem solution in P4 in the expectation that a fast P4 exeuction
  product like Tofino would be a great alternative/competition to other execution platforms
  (SmartNIC, CPU,...). We had several of those great ideas presented/shown in Coin, they
  where all about higher than forwarding-plane "compute" problems. But very quickly, with
  Tofino aging, i am sure CPU or SmartNIC slutions for the same problems can easily be
  shown to be more cost-effective.

- Long-term forwarding plane research:
  The rejection of the industry (outside Intel) to support P4 for researchers on their router/switch
  forwarding planes (for a decade now) should primarily be a trigger for research funding
  such as from NSF/EU to better enable long-term forwarding plane research. IMHO there
  should simply be a single well funded effort for a Network Programming Element (NPE) equivalent
  to RISC-V. Aka: fully open source architecture and instruction set for a research NPE,
  competitive to industry products. There are lot of other benefits from such an effort
  that could help make that happen.

Cheers
    Toerless
