Introduction

The objective of this exercise is to write a P4 program that implements basic forwarding but using two tables. This program is a very simple extension of the ip_forwarding example.

How to run

Run the topology:

sudo p4run

or

sudo python network.py

Try to ping from one host to another:

mininet> h1 ping h2

Ping from all host pairs to test for connectivity:

mininet> pingall
