Introduction to P4Pi
P4Pi is a low cost, open source platform for computer networks teaching and research.
The platform is based on the Raspberry Pi board and uses the P4 programming language.
Teaching computer networks should be cool and exciting.
For students to engage with networking, we want to provide hands-on experience and hardware based projects. Unlike software-based solutions, running on actual platforms provides realism, as well as a cool factor.
Existing programmable hardware solutions are too expensive, and don't allow educators to build labs of 20+ devices, nor for students to purchase one themselves. With P4Pi, we provide a platform that is cheaper than an academic book.
P4Pi is aimed at networking educators, hobbyists and researchers.
The education materials are design for multiple university courses: from undergraduate introduction to networking course, to postgraduate advanced networking.
P4Pi is pronounced papi. In British pronunciation, this sounds like puppy, thus the cute logo!
