TL;DR: This work presents NetCache, a new key-value store architecture that leverages the power and flexibility of new-generation programmable switches to handle queries on hot items and balance the load across storage nodes, and shows that it improves the throughput by 3-10x and reduces the latency of up to 40% of queries by 50%, for high-performance, in-memory key- value stores.

TL;DR: The presented SoftCell is a scalable architecture that supports fine-grained policies for mobile devices in cellular core networks, using commodity switches and servers, and enables operators to realize high-level service policies that direct traffic through sequences of middleboxes based on subscriber attributes and applications.

TL;DR: Dionysus encodes as a graph the consistency-related dependencies among updates at individual switches, and it then dynamically schedules these updates based on runtime differences in the update speeds of different switches, which increases the system's speed.

TL;DR: SketchVisor augments sketch-based measurement in the data plane with a fast path, which is activated under high traffic load to provide high-performance local measurement with slight accuracy degradations and recovers accurate network-wide measurement results via compressive sensing.

TL;DR: NetChain exploits recent advances in programmable switches to store data and process queries entirely in the network data plane, and design new protocols and algorithms based on chain replication to guarantee strong consistency and to efficiently handle switch failures.
