By offering the possibility to already perform processing as packets traverse the network, programmable data planes open up new perspectives for applications suffering from strict latency and high bandwidth requirements. Real-time Computer Vision (CV), with its high data rates and often mission- and safety-critical roles in the control of autonomous vehicles and industrial machinery, could particularly benefit from executing parts of its logic within network elements.
