The P4 code for IPv6 switch ML for https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hsingh-ipv6-coin-ml/ is also complete and checked into the repo below.

 

https://github.com/hesingh/p4-ipv6-switch-ml

 

This is p4-16 code that supports switch ML using a well-known IPv6 link-local multicast address to send ML updates to all hosts.  Now, the authors of the switch ML paper can use this code to add their switch ML logic and make the whole switch ML work for IPv6 on the Tofino asic.  I have tested the code using p4c (P4 compiler) STF packets.  STS is described on slide 136 of https://github.com/p4lang/p4c/blob/master/docs/compiler-design.pptx

 

This is all the code I had to write on the day of the hackathon.  I will use the day for working with any author of the switch ML IPv4 implementation to shoe-horn more code into the public-domain repo.

Here is the main hackathon info page:

https://www.ietf.org/how/runningcode/hackathons/105-hackathon/

 

It includes important info and links for the hackathon, including a link to the wiki.

https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/105hackathon

 

A link to the code, in GitHub or elsewhere, would be a good thing to include in your description. 

If you don’t already have a location for the code, I’d be happy to create a repo for you here:

https://github.com/ietf-hackathon

 

Cheers,

Charles

Note, the code changes in the email below are in C so that switch ML has hosts with IPv6 and switch ML support. 

 

For P4,  I will write p4-16 code for switch ML to send a IPv6 link-local multicast message with configurable payload.

I could not find a wiki for the hackathon.  I wanted to enter one thought for what I’d do on Saturday of the hackathon.  I cannot make it for Sunday.  Anyway, here is my thought via email.

 

Change Linux networking stack to filter IPv6 traffic on a new link-local multicast address, e.g., FF02:0:0:0:0:0:1:8.  I will make the address configurable.  Time permitting, I will change FreeBSD as well.  The work supports this draft: 

 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hsingh-ipv6-coin-ml-02 

 

Later, I can send the code out for review to the respective communities.  This way, the switch ML algorithms can move to IPv6 using Linux hosts.  The latest version of the above draft now includes a formal technical report research paper on switch ML.

 

Best,

 

Hemant

Hi Marie-Jose,

 

Thanks for championing this project at the hackathon. It is great to have Noviflow involved and helping in this way. We will work with you offline to determine how best to proceed with recognizing them.

 

Cheers,

Charles

Hi: 

 

I am the champion behind the P4 hackaton. We have had a lot of support but in particular from a local Montreal company called “Noviflow” who are getting us licenses for tools and will send some of  their programmers to help us. So in fact they are “sponsoring” our hackaton. Would there be a way to thank them on the site? Actually this is going multi-way: as a IRTF co-chair and long time IETF collaborator as well as a Montreal native, I am trying to get more participation from Montreal-based companies and academic institutions in IETF/IRTF and Noviflow is frankly my first success story :) 

 

Let me know…
