The goal of this tutorial is to teach you the basics of P4, P4Runtime, and ONOS. It includes also hands-on exercises that you can run on a tutorial VM. In the exercises, you will learn how to create an emulated network of P4 devices using Mininet and BMv2 (the reference P4 software switch) controlled by ONOS via P4Runtime, while using a custom P4 program.
