ICA-XFG-205 is 2-unit advanced, instructor-led course module that offers detailed exploration of the Tofino Native Architecture (TNA) facilities that are used to implement packet mirroring and several of its main use cases, specifically traffic observation/intercept and In-band Network Telemetry.

ICA-XFG-205 is a part of Intel® Connectivity Academy XFG course series and can be taken either in-person or online.

Starting 4th March – 5th March – is a 2-unit course about mirroring and telemetry.

COURSE GOALS 

Upon the completion of the course, the students will:

1. Understand the mirroring mechanisms provided by both Tofino and Tofino2 architectures.
2. Be able to design egress headers required to support both metadata bridging, ingress, and egress mirroring, using both manual and automatic layout (flexible headers). 
3. Learn how to write egress parser code, required to parse both bridged and mirrored packets.
4. Learn how pass additional information using the Mirror() extern.
5. Learn how to use ingress mirroring for traffic observation.
6. Learn how to use egress mirroring for In-band Network Telemetry.
7. Learn how to configure mirroring using Barefoot Runtime Interface
8. Learn about other types of mirroring available in TNA and T2NA

DETAILED SCHEDULE

Each unit consists of a 2-hour-long lecture (presentation) with one break and is followed by the hands-on labs.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is most suitable for data plane designers tasked with implementing P4 programs on Intel Tofino™ ASIC family devices.
