Rare project developers

[Frederic LOUI <>]

Dear (Open-networking) experts !

I'm please to inform you that RARE documentation has been updated with a
new installation guide: [TOFINO P4 DEV VM]

This guide will walk you through the installation of a complete
development environment on a VM running INTEL TOFINO P4 dataplane
virtual model.

What can you do with such VM ?

1- Install a P4 development environment on a VM running INTEL-P4-SDE
2- Build and run RARE P4 dataplane software
3- Install freeRtr control plane
4- Start P4 software development

5- Last but not least, start engaging with us and become RARE developer
and help us maintain/support this software !

PS1: The installation guide above suppose you have signed all relevant
NDA with INTEL and have access to INTEL SDE P4 studio software. (As of
now, latest version is 9.13.3)

PS2: People may have some legitimate doubts regarding INTEL TOFINO
future, End Of Life. Even if INTEL announced the end of TOFINO
development, some hints indicates that we still have few years ahead of
us. (few years = 3-5 years) More information here:

Happy networking,
