UofG-netlab/BPFabric

BPFabric is a historical research project from 2017 that explored the use of eBPF for SDN data planes. While it was early to the eBPF networking trend, it has since been entirely eclipsed by industry-standard implementations such as XDP (eXpress Data Path) and production-grade orchestrators like Cilium. With only 35 stars and no activity for years (velocity 0.0), it serves primarily as an academic reference rather than a viable tool for modern infrastructure. The defensibility is near zero because the core value proposition (programmable networking via BPF) is now a native feature of the Linux kernel and cloud provider stacks (AWS Nitro, etc.). Any technical moat it once had has been filled by the massive consolidation of the eBPF ecosystem around projects supported by the eBPF Foundation and major cloud vendors.
