Abstract
A method for customizing data plane pipeline processing to generate test packets using Berkeley packet filter (BPF) hook entry points is disclosed. The method includes receiving a program code script for customizing a performance of one or more stages of a multistage processing pipeline platform configured for conducting a network operation process, wherein the multistage processing pipeline platform includes one or more predefined hook entry points and compiling the program code script to generate a customized plug-in component that is deployed in at least one of the one or more predefined hook entry points of the multistage processing pipeline platform. The method further includes initiating execution of the customized plug-in component in response to a triggering of the at least one of the one or more predefined hook entry points of a stage element of the multistage processing pipeline platform, wherein the execution of the customized plug-in component dynamically configures at least one feature of the network operation process at runtime.
