We are excited to announce that Cisco joined the P4 Consortium as a premier member in 2025! This partnership underscores Cisco’s ongoing commitment to driving innovation in networking and paving the way for greater advances in programmable networking technology.
Since the introduction of Cisco’s Silicon One ASIC in 2019, Cisco has relied on P4 to enable their engineers to deliver a variety of features that meet the evolving needs of their customers. Eli Stein, Vice President of Engineering at Cisco shared, “Cisco incorporated P4 programmability into the Silicon One architecture from its inception, empowering our customers with unmatched network agility, customizable data-plane behavior, and the flexibility to optimize performance and drive innovation in response to evolving business needs.”
This is one example, stay tuned for more on how Cisco is leveraging P4 across the portfolio.
