Hardware Interface #52

Closed Gabi2203 closed 1 year ago

Hi, in Mininet there there is a way to be able to bind an interface of a switch from the virtual network to a hardware interface on the machine that runs it by using the "Intf" class from "link.py" .

I have not been able to replicate this using P4-utils due to the fact that i have not been able to locate where P4-utils stores the "Node" objects that are created.

I have also not been able to tell if these objects are created in the first place or if they are managed in other ways.

I would appreciate if you can let me know if you are aware of any way to achieve the mininet to outside connection in some way using P4-utils.

Thank you.
