ICA-XFG-203 is 2-unit advanced, instructor-led course module that offers detailed exploration of the Tofino Native Architecture (TNA) facilities that are used to implement multi-path traffic distribution mechanisms such as Link Aggregation Groups (LAG), Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP), Weighted-Cost  Multi-Path (WCMP) and similar. 

This course is recommended to all data and control plane designers tasked with implementing LAG, ECMP, WCMP, Load Balancing and other similar features in their systems as well as to anyone interested  in learning TNA in depth.

ICA-XFG-203 is a part of Intel® Connectivity Academy XFG course series and can be taken either in-person or online.

Starting 26th February – 27th February – is a 2-unit course about action profiles, selectors and traffic distribution.

COURSE GOALS 

Upon the completion of the course, the students will:
1. Understand the concept of action indirection and how it can be efficiently implemented using the ActionProfile() TNA extern.
2. Understand the principles of hash calculation, including Hash() and CRCPolynomial() externs.
3. Understand the algorithm of action selection employed by the ActionSelector() extern.
4. Understand the resilient hashing implementation.
5. Understand how to implement stateful hashing, such as spraying and flowlet hashing.
6. Learn how to write P416/TNA programs that perform traffic distribution.
7. Learn how to control the abovementioned TNA externs using Barefoot Runtime Interface

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.
