Here is an update on new proposals accepted this past week for NetDev 0.1 that you may have missed if you aren't following the RSS feed or twitter: New Sponsors (All listed at: https://www.netdev01.org/sponsors) ============= Qualcomm - Without sponsors like Qualcomm netdev 0.1 couldnt have have happened. Thanks Qualcomm for your support of the open source community. Google - Google is a giant in the open source world. We thank them for their sponsorship. Accepted talks: (All listed: https://www.netdev01.org/sessions ) =============== 1) Breaking Open Linux Switching Drivers by Andy Gospodarek Andy will talk about taking an evolutionary path of a compromise to integrate between vendor SDKs and the Linux kernel for hardware offload. Graphics cards all over again? Come and find out. https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/19 2) Weighing Three Methods of Scaling UDP Applications by Alan Dekok Alan, the maintainer of FreeRadius, has had to battle UDP for years. In this talk he will describe his experiences on 3 different approaches he has recently taken to try and scale UDP applications on Linux https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/20 3) TC Classifier Action Subsystem by Jamal Hadi Salim Jamal will describe the tc classifier-action subsystem in details (A decade too late?). He claims to be inspired by two talks at netdev01 which refer to this subsystem. He also claims it is a better architecture than OF and P4. Come beat up on him. https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/21 4) MLAG (or Multi-Chassis Link aggregation Group) integration with Linux by Matty Kadosh Mellanox MLAG implementation at https://github.com/open-ethernet/MLAG will be discussed in this talk. Matty will talk about experiences and will try to convince us that it is time to mainstream MLAG. https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/22 5) MLAG on Linux - Lessons Learned by Scott Emery Cumulus Networks has extensive MLAG deployment on Linux using hardware offloads on high speed hardware. They have had to battle dragons in many dungeons and slay many monsters along the way. Come hear all that experience in one talk. https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/23 Accepted Tutorials (All listed: https://www.netdev01.org/sessions ) =================== 1)Hardware Accelerating Linux Network Functions by Roopa Prabhu and Toshiaki Makita Everything you ever wanted to know about using Linux bridging variations for virtualization, data centre & enterprise, L3, ACLs and more. How well do you know how to use bridge/brctl/ip/ethtool and their friends to setup a desired network(bridge, SRIOV, Macvlan etc)? Roopa and Toshiaki will try to guide you through this vast ocean of knowledge. You will get to learn about how to learn the theory and practise and beauty of using these toolsets consistently whether on a NIC, offloaded-NIC or multi-terabit capacity switch hardware. https://www.netdev01.org/sessions/24 More coming in future updates. If youve got this far reading - please go and register. cheers, jamal (on behalf of Richard Guy Briggs)
