Somewhat related:<p>> <i>P4 is a programming language for controlling packet forwarding planes in networking devices, such as routers and switches. In contrast to a general purpose language such as C or Python, P4 is a domain-specific language with a number of constructs optimized for network data forwarding. P4 is distributed as open-source, permissively licensed code, and is maintained by the P4 Project (formerly the P4 Language Consortium), a not-for-profit organization hosted by the Open Networking Foundation.</i><p>* <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P4_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P4_(programming_language)</a>
