P4DB - The Case for In-Network OLTP
Summary: P4DB enables OLTP processing in-network by running a transaction engine on a P4 switch; hot tuples reside and execute there. Demonstrates up to 8x speedup over conventional DBMS, showing in-network processing as a viable accelerator for distributed OLTP.
