Abstract
System, method, and software for managing packet forwarding by end devices that use Zigbee protocol. In one embodiment, a P4 switch is implemented at an edge of an IP network as an intermediary between the end devices that use Zigbee protocol so that packets forwarded by each of the end devices flow through the switch. The switch includes a transceiver configured to receive a packet forwarded by a first endpoint in an end device and destined for a second endpoint. The switch includes a P4 parser configured to parse the packet to identify fields of the packet, and a P4 analyzer configured to process a plurality of match-action tables and the fields of the packet to provide data plane handling of the packet.
