===Reconfigurability===
Protocol independence and the abstract language model allow for '''reconfigurability''' – P4 targets should be able to change the way they process packets (perhaps multiple times) after they are deployed. This capability is traditionally associated with forwarding planes built on [[History of general-purpose CPUs|general-purpose CPUs]] or [[network processor]]s, rather than the fixed function [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASICs]]. Although within the language there is nothing to prevent a given target from optimizing around a certain set of protocols, these optimizations are invisible to the language author and may ultimately reduce the
