a family of network programming languages
The languages used to program networks today lack modern features. Programming them is a complicated and error-prone task, and outages and infiltrations are frequent. We believe it is time to develop network programming languages with the following essential features:
Addresses these challenges in the context of Software Defined Networks. Languages within the Frenetic family provide a domain specific sub-language for specifying dataplane packet processing in terms of packet functions and combinators inside of a general purpose programming language - thereby realizing many of the features listed above.
