SUP4RNET
An experimental platform running on P4 switches inside the PROGNOSE lab.
Your infrastructure for research on programmable networks
Validate your ongoing research on programmable dataplanes with access to state-of-the-art data center’s hardware. SUP4RNET is a shared cluster for network experiments funded by the Italian RESTART initiative.
Dataplane programmability
Access a network ecosystem programmable full-stack, including P4 switches, eBPF, smart NICs and DPUs.
Multi-tenant isolation
Get your VM up and running with pre-configured with P4 Tofino emulators. Schedule your access to physical devices.
Connect with your community
Get in touch with many partners for collaboration opportunities and open discussion across research groups
Debut award for the research group of University of Bologna lead by Prof. Franco Callegati! Kudos 🥳

Given the multi-tenancy nature of the cluster, isolation mechanisms are essential to prevent tenants from interfering with each other and to ensure the ability to run concurrent experiments. Differently from general-purpose compute infrastructure, existing programmable data-plane technologies lack the essential support for multi-tenancy.

Well done Zhihao! Zhihao Wang has been the first beta tester for our cluster, thanks to him we could spot and patch few issues and reaching the point of a more stable state.
