This is temporary notes which should be sorted out in future.
- Switch ASIC Buffer Size !! Un-official information !!
- "Azure is using Arista Switch with Tofino running VxLAN" mentioned on public website: https://mnkcg.com/products/p4-ansible/
- An Arista network switch has shipped to Microsoft Azure cloud with support for 256K VTEP. This switch has a Tofino asic using all stages. There is no room left on the asic for any incremental P4 program merging. This switch requires a forklift upgrade to remove some existing features and add new ones. P4-Ansible has automated the forklift upgrade once a user provides what feature(s) to remove and add.

- In the meeting P4 NICs were asked of. For one P4-programmable NIC, contact Marvell for an Octeon which uses vpp in software. Then, my company’s P4toVPP compiler makes the Octeon P4 programmable. Cavium/Marvell developed the first smartNIC. -- Hemant
