ehh scream SDN 5 times. kinda miss the 2010’s now.

cisco silicon one uses p4 fwiw. internal development though, but the language makes sense for what the things are.

[0xNOTVALID → yusyusyus]

do they expose the p4 functionality externally? ive heard this from them but never actually seen the proof - it seems like vaporware

[wmf → 0xNOTVALID]

I don't think they would lie but they just don't release the compiler. Maybe they give it to Meta.

[vriendspookstem → wmf]

yes,they might provide it to hyperscalers or allows them to customize some of the packet parsing pipeline for these companies.
