SD-Fabric Techinar

Learn about the recently announced SD-Fabric project, a P4-programmable hybrid network fabric supporting cloud-native and edge cloud applications. SD-Fabric provides programmers the ability to customize packet processing beyond traditional fabrics. It includes support for specialized functions such as 5G UPF, as well as unprecedented visibility and verifiability of the data plane that further enables use cases such as INT and closed-loop control.
