Methods, systems, and computer readable media for storage, retrieval, and use of programmable pipeline device profiles

Abstract:

A method for storage, retrieval, and use of programmable pipeline device profiles includes creating a plurality of different programmable pipeline device profiles and a catalog for locating and retrieving the profiles, each programmable pipeline device profile including compiled object code for configuring a programmable pipeline device to implement a network test or network visibility function and metadata describing the programmable pipeline device profile. The method further includes storing the catalog and at least a portion of the profiles in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The method further includes selecting, using the catalog, one of the profiles stored in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The method further includes using the profile to configure the programmable pipeline device for implementing the network test or visibility function.
