I want to apply H.264 RTP video streaming over P4 SDN on Mininet


I have to do an exercise were I got h.264 video sender host, h.264 video receiver (with background traffic receiver) host, and a background traffic generator host. All of these three are on different ip subnet connected to P4 controller.

#include <core.p4>

I have created a json app that can host the applications topology and set the forwarding table, but I am getting an error while running it, can someone help?


Solution

  • Yes I can see what you mean, I have done this integration before you only forget the priority statement otherwise should run well, please add this to your code;

    after

    apply { ipv4_lpm.apply();

    ADD:

    if (hdr.ipv4.srcAddr == 0x0a000101){
    
            standard_metadata.priority = (bit<3>)7;
    
         }
    

    This should fix your issue and will make the video traffic sent by your video sender host be mapped to the highest priority 7.
