This repository is the superproject for P4 Control Plane. It is the successor to P4-OVS.

• also called the IPDK Networking Recipe
• formerly known as P4-OVS Split Architecture

P4 Control Plane modularizes P4-OVS and reduces coupling between its components, making the code easier to maintain and more suitable for upstreaming.

It moves the P4-specific components of the architecture from ovs-vswitchd to a separate process called infrap4d.

See the Overview section of the User Guide for a description of the components.

The functions that ovs-p4rt publishes for use by OVS have been renamed to make them more consistent with C programming conventions.

The Stratum dependencies have moved from the setup directory to a new https://github.com/ipdk-io/stratum-deps repository.

This change allows the dependencies to be downloaded and built independently of the Networking Recipe (P4 Control Plane). It also makes them easier to maintain.

See the README file and Transition Guide in the stratum-deps repository for more information.

To download the source code for P4 Control Plane:
