Abstract
A method includes providing a library of hardware-agnostic packet-processing functions. A functional hardware-agnostic specification of a packet-processing pipeline is received from a user. The specification is defined in terms of one or more of the packet-processing functions drawn from the library. A hardware-specific design of the packet-processing pipeline, which is suited to given hardware, is derived from the specification.
