abstract = {Software Defined Networking (SDN) marked the beginning of a new era in the field of networking by decoupling the control and forwarding processes through the OpenFlow protocol. The Next Generation SDN is defined by Open Interfaces and full programmability of the data plane. P4 is a domain specific language that fulfills these requirements and has known wide adoption over the last years from Academia and Industry. This work is an extensive survey of the P4 language covering domains of application, a detailed overview of the language and future directions.},
