P4 Tutorial
Introduction
Welcome to the P4 Tutorial!
We've prepared a set of exercises to help you get started with P4 programming, organized into four modules:
- Introduction and Language Basics
- P4 Runtime and the Control Plane
- Monitoring and Debugging
- Advanced Data Structures
- Dynamic Behavior
Obtaining required software
If you are starting this tutorial at the Fall 2017 P4 Developer Day, then we've already provided you with a virtual machine that has all of the required software installed.
Otherwise, to complete the exercises, you will need to either build a virtual machine or install several dependencies.
To build the virtual machine:
- Install Vagrant and VirtualBox
cd vm
vagrant up
- Log in with username
p4
and passwordp4
and issue the commandsudo shutdown -r now
- When the machine reboots, you should have a graphical desktop machine with the required software pre-installed.
To install dependencies by hand, please reference the vm installation scripts. They contain the dependencies, versions, and installation procedure. You can run them directly on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine:
sudo ./root-bootstrap.sh
sudo ./user-bootstrap.sh
