What is P4 (Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors)?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) A domain-specific language for programming packet forwarding behavior in hardware (ASICs, FPGAs, NPUs) and software switches

B

Correct Answer

A domain-specific language for programming packet forwarding behavior in hardware (ASICs, FPGAs, NPUs) and software switches

Explanation

P4 allows network engineers to define custom packet parsing, match-action processing, and forwarding pipelines. It enables rapid deployment of new protocols without waiting for ASIC redesigns.
