Neutron network operation and analysis system (NeutronEye OS)
NeutronEye OS software operating system is a complete set of software toolkits for performing network function control, real-time data collection and analysis based on P4 language. P4 is the abbreviation of Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors, which means a packet processor independent of programming protocol. It is an open source network programming language used to indicate how to pass forwarding elements (such as hardware or software switches, network interface cards, Routers or network equipment) to process data packets. Many goals, especially those that follow the SDN architecture, can achieve separate control and data planes. P4 can define the interface for control plane and data plane communication.
