> 
> During the last few years SDN and NFV technologies have been shaping the ways
> new telecommunication services and applications are deployed and managed. We
> have seen how dedicated equipment interconnected by static networks are being
> replaced by CoTS equipment running NFV solutions that in turn, make profit of a
> flexible and reconfigurable SDN-based networks.
> 
> We are observing that applications that require high performance network data
> management and processing are shifting from traditional Virtual Machine based
> solutions to new paradigms that cover a broad set of approaches, sometimes
> referred to as NFV acceleration solutions. All of them have in common the
> objective of improving the network processing performance, flexibility and cost
> either by trimming the number and complexity of traditional operating system
> software components, by bypassing traditional network stack processing or by
> offloading processing to reconfigurable or programmable hardware network
> data-planes. Moreover, an efficient network data plane processing will not only
> improve applications but will foster the appearance of new applications, as well
> as pave the way for new mechanisms supporting a seamless integration of network,
> compute and storage services, in what is being termed as “in-network computing”.
> 
> The complete challenge involves not only providing the low-level techniques but
> also but also building an overall approach to package and manage these
> techniques and facilitate their adoption by the industry. In this sense,
> proposals that could become compatible with software-network orchestration and
> automation techniques (such as those proposed by ETSI NFV architectural
> framework or IETF SFC, to name a couple of the most relevant current
> standardization approaches) are of particular interest.
> 
> We solicit papers that investigate novel approaches to Flexible Network Data
> Plane Processing. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
> 
> - Hardware Network Data Plane Processing: P4 and beyond.
> - Software Data Plane programming: eBPF, XDP, DPDK, ODP, AF-XDP…
> - Advanced applications of Network Data Plane Processing.
> - Integration of in network processing in general NFV and SDN architectures
> - Security management, development and implications of Network Data Plane
>  Processing.
> - Hybrid (network/host based) VNFs and supporting architectures.
> - Performance evaluation and optimization.
> - Stateful data plane processing.
> - Cloudifying the Network Data Plane Processing.
> - Supporting architectures.
> - Improving the security of Network Data Plane Processing architectures,
>  services and applications.
