The May 2017 release of SDNet included support for P4 16, which had just been released. Various improvements have been made in subsequent releases. For example, Xilinx has recently demonstrated a prototype Xilinx SmartNIC platform—comprising NIC card with FPGA, P4 programming environment, and DPDK runtime software—developed in Xilinx Labs. This is being further developed by Xilinx as a new board-level product, to be launched in 2019.
