## Background

# Stratum - Enabling the era of next-generation SDN
In January 2025, Intel decided to roll the IPDK networking-recipe `main`
branch (and its submodules) back to their `mev-ts-1.9` release
(Sep 30, 2024), effectively discarding the work I had done since then.
This fork allows me to keep tinkering without stepping on their toes.

Stratum is an open source silicon-independent switch operating system for
software defined networks. It is building an open, minimal production-ready
distribution for white box switches. Stratum exposes a set of next-generation
SDN interfaces including P4Runtime and OpenConfig, enabling interchangeability
of forwarding devices and programmability of forwarding behaviors. Current
support includes Barefoot Tofino and Broadcom Tomahawk devices, as well as the
bmv2 software switch.

This repository is a fork of <https://github.com/stratum/stratum>. It is a
submodule of <https://github.com/ffoulkes/networking-recipe>.

# Documentation
The `ffoulkes` branch was imported from <https://github.com/ipdk-io/stratum-dev>.
It contains the changes made for IPDK.

## Getting Started with SDN / P4 / Stratum
Its baseline is
[IPDK Stratum v3.3.0.0](https://github.com/ipdk-io/stratum-dev/releases/tag/v3.3.0.0).

If you're completly new to the world of P4 and are looking for step-by-step
instructions with batteries included, the
[NG-SDN](https://github.com/opennetworkinglab/ngsdn-tutorial) tutorial is a good
starting point. For material more focused on P4 as a language, have a look at
the [p4lang](https://github.com/p4lang/tutorials) tutorials. Finally, there is
the "Software-Defined Networks: A Systems Approach" book
([HTML](https://sdn.systemsapproach.org/)) for comprehensive coverage of SDN.
Also see the chapter about
[Stratum](https://sdn.systemsapproach.org/stratum.html#thin-switch-os) in it.

### Development
- `idpk-base` marks the point at which IPDK development diverged from the
Stratum `main` branch.

Subsequent changes to Stratum `main` were cherry-picked into the IPDK branch
in 2023 and 2024, and are part of the `ffoulkes` branch.

# Component Overview

![img](stratum/docs/images/stratum_architecture.png)

[P4Runtime](https://p4.org/p4-runtime) provides a flexible mechanism for
configuring the forwarding pipeline on a network switch.

[gNMI](https://github.com/openconfig/reference/tree/master/rpc/gnmi) is a
framework for network device management that uses gRPC as the transport
mechanism.

[SDKLT](https://github.com/Broadcom-Network-Switching-Software/SDKLT) is used
to program fixed-pipeline switches using the Tomahawk chip from Broadcom.

# Source code

This repository contains source code for a reference implementation of
the P4Runtime and gNMI services, that serves as the hardware abstraction layer
for a network switch. It has been successfully prototyped at Google, running on
production hardware on a data center network subsystem.

# Development environment

We provide a script to create a Docker development environment for Stratum.

To start the container, run the following in your `stratum` directory:

./setup_dev_env.sh

The script will build a Docker image using Dockerfile.dev and run a bash session
in it. This directory will be mounted in the Docker image and you will be able
to run git, edit code, and build Stratum / run tests using Bazel.

For more information, you can see a complete list of arguments by running:
`setup_dev_env.sh -h`

If you are using Docker on Linux, make sure that you can use Docker as a
non-root user, otherwise you will not be able to run setup_dev_env.sh:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
- `mev-ts-1.9` marks the point at which the `ffoulkes` branch diverged from
the IPDK `main` branch.
