'''P4''' is a [[programming language]] for controlling [[Network packet|packet]] [[forwarding plane]]s in networking devices, such as routers and switches. In contrast to a general purpose language such as [[C (programming language)|C]] or [[Python (programming language)|Python]], P4 is a [[___domain-specific language]] with a number of constructs optimized for [[Packet forwarding|network data forwarding]]. P4 is distributed as [[Open-source software|open-source]], [[Permissive free software licence|permissively licensed]] code, and is maintained by the P4 Project (formerly the P4 Language Consortium), a not-for-profit organization hosted by the [[Open Networking Foundation]].
