The october 2018 issue

Abstract

SIGCOMM'18 was held in Hungary and the participants were pleased with both the technical program and the social interactions with all the members of the community. During her keynote on Networks Capable of Change, Jennifer Rexford mentioned two papers published in CCR that have had an important impact on our community : OpenFlow: enabling innovation in campus networks and P4: programming protocol-independent packet processors. These two editorial notes paved the way for Software-Defined Networks and then programmable switches. They are a good illustration of the benefits of having a venue like CCR that is open to other types of papers than the scientific papers that usually appear in our conferences and workshops.
