“…Although the P4 definition takes into account the SDN architecture, it does not imply that cannot be used to define autonomous capabilities in a data plane. Indeed, ARP-P4 [4] shows how autonomous capabilities can be defined in a P4 based data plane. More specifically, ARP-P4 supports the ARP-Path protocol to establish paths autonomously in a layer 2 domain.…”

“…However, although the SDN paradigm is pivotal towards next generation communication networks [1], its founder protocol, OpenFlow [2], is unable to cope with the strict demands of new stakeholders [3], such as data plane programmability. A novel approach to overcome this limitation is the ARP-P4 switch [4] since it follows a hybrid approach. The ARP-P4 switch combines both SDN and traditional standalone architectures in a single device.…”

The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture decouples the control plane from the data plane, but it does not explicitly state where the control should be located. This article analyses the benefits of maintaining the control as close as possible to the data plane, instead of the more traditional centralised control plane approach. To this purpose, it delves into the study of ARP-P4, a hybrid software switch defined by using the P4 language to facilitate its future use and deployment in P4 targets. Its hybrid properties come from supporting two complementary different ways of establishing paths: a centralised SDN approach based on P4-Runtime and a traditional distributed approach based on the ARP-Path protocol that obtains a similar performance to centralised solutions based on Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) and Dijkstra. The results show the feasibility of hybrid devices that combine different forwarding paradigms without losing performance with respect to well-known solutions such as ECMP, and how their combined use can lead to enhance and scale communication networks.

MAC address spoofing has plagued LAN communication for a long time. Many attacks use it as a springboard to carry out subsequent attacks. The main reason for this kind of attack is the exposure of MAC address. If the source MAC address of the node can be hidden during frame forwarding, this kind of attack can be effectively prevented. This study proposes virtual MAC switching (VMS) as a solution to this problem. VMS uses multi-address hopping technology to make the MAC address of the frame change continuously in the forwarding process. Its unique address generation format makes other nodes unable to record or speculate the real MAC address of the node, so it cannot launch an attack. Experiments show that VMS is close to typical SDN switches in terms of delay, throughput, and overhead and has a higher security level.
