This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250088425 titled 'DEEP NETWORK SLICING WITH VIRTUALIZED PROGRAMMABLE DATA-PLANE PIPELINES
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for network slicing with programmable data-plane pipelines, comprising creating slice contexts, mapping resources of network switch hardware to the slice contexts to create a resource mapping, instantiating the plurality of network slices on the network switch hardware using the resource mapping, receiving frames from one or more external sources, identifying a network slice corresponding to each frame, and enriching a header of each of the frames, based upon the identification of the network slice for each frame, to direct each frame to a data-plane pipeline.
