P4Runtime Data Plane Update Measurements from P4 Switch Experiments

Henning Stubbe from the Technical University of Munich created this dataset containing measurement scripts and results for analyzing data plane updates on P4 switches. The data includes experiment runs from August 2022 and January 2023, with results processed into CSV files suitable for generating figures. The dataset is associated with the paper 'Keeping up to Date with P4Runtime: An Analysis of Data Plane Updates on P4 Switches'.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the performance of data plane updates based on the described experiment runs and timestamps.
• Benchmarking P4Runtime update mechanisms using the provided measurement scripts and results.
• Reproducing or extending the figures from the associated academic paper using the processed CSV data.

Strengths

• Includes specific experiment run identifiers from 2022-08-19, 2022-08-20, and 2023-01-28.
• Provides the original measurement scripts and a post-processing script for generating analysis-ready CSV files.
• Associated with a specific academic paper from the Technical University of Munich, providing research context.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
