Join us with for an exclusive P4 Developer Days webinar on “Programmable Data Planes for the Cloud Era: Harnessing P4 on FPGA-based SmartNICs.” how P4 and FPGA-based SmartNICs are revolutionizing cloud networking by delivering agile, programmable, and high-performance data planes.
Date: February 4, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM (Pacific Time)
The exponential growth of cloud-native services, 5G connectivity, and data-intensive applications is driving the need for scalable and flexible packet processing architectures. While fixed-function ASICs offer strong performance, they lack the adaptability required to support emerging tunneling protocols, dynamic QoS mechanisms, and evolving workloads.
P4, a protocol-independent programming language for data planes, addresses these challenges by allowing developers to quickly define and deploy advanced packet pipelines—without the complexity of RTL design.
In this session, learn how iWave’s iW-Fibre SmartNICs, in conjunction with Altera’s P4 Compiler Suite, enable operators to synthesize fully programmable pipelines that maintain line-rate performance while offering complete flexibility.
Live demonstrations will showcase practical P4 use cases, including:
- Checksum verification
- IP-in-IP tunneling
- VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation
- Standards-based QoS metering
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the next generation of programmable network acceleration.
