Stefan Schmidt will chair a working session with face to face
discussions on IoT related MAC layers, header compression and
routing protocols.
Final agenda will be ready by conference time. Currently,
-ieee802154 and 6lowpan subsystems (status update, netlink)
-API to configure 6lowpan, kselftest
-LoRa subsystem (report on ongoing work
and blockers for merging)
-Bluetooth (status update, Bluetooth mesh,
version 5 features)
-RPL implementations for Linux (unstrung, other
implementaions, needed kernel interfaces)
please contact Stefan(on Cc) to request for a slot for the above
or new relevant topics.

The Program Committee has accepted another nutsnbolts talk.
Dynamic skb metadata extension is a refreshing new feature added
upstream recently (see commit df5042f4c5b9). A net subsystem
can associate metadatum to an skb through its life span without
affecting the size of the sk_buff structure. Oh, the things you can
do with this new found freedom!
Florian Westphal will go into the deep guts of this feature
and then digest it to make it tasty for your consumption.
Come see him in action.

The Program Committee has accepted another talk.
Jason Wang is on a mission to bring VM networking
performance to be at par with the host. In this talk
he will describe the design, implementation and
challenges in adding XDP support to virtio-net.
Jason will also discuss observed performance
numbers, security implications and future work.

Our first paper accepted by the Program Committee
NVMe is hot! Imagine writing to storage and not having to
twiddle your thumbs while waiting for a write to complete.
NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-OF) is changing how we think about
remote storage. Using TCP as a transport alternative to RDMA
or FC brings forward an interesting perspective in relation to
the networking stack.
Sagi Grimberg will tell you how this stuff works before going
over the linux implementation and finally soliciting feedback
on some outstanding issues. Come listen, learn, and converse.

Sowmini Varadhan will chair the TCP Analytics Workshop
at Netdev 0x13.
There are numerous cases of TCP performance challenges and
anomalies reported in production environments that are very
hard to debug, raising an interest in the answer to the
question "how to monitor TCP flows efficiently".
The workshop will constitute the sharing of experience from
folks who deal with TCP Analytics Extraction at very large
TCP deployments from several organizations. Discussions will
include descriptions of the instrumentation used at these
organizations, the motivation behind these diagnostics,
and ways to improve/enhance this as we go forward
