High speed NAT64 with p4

NAT64, a translation technique for enabling IPv6 networks with IPv4 and vice versa, becomes more and more present in today's networks. But how far can we push the speed limit and how can hardware programming help?

In this talk, Nico will give an overview of a NAT64 implementation in P4, running in hardware. He will give an overview about the system and compare it with Open Source NAT64 translators.
