We are pleased to announce our first Platinum sponsor,
HAProxy Technologies!
Thank you HAProxy Technologies - your kindness is what
makes Netdev conf happen. We are grateful not just to your
sponsorship but also for all the contributions made by
your organization to keeping Linux Networking on the map!

New accepted talk.
From the same folks at MIT who brought you the idea
of Congestion Manager (Linux being able to plugin
different congestion control algorithms) comes an
exciting(my emphasis!) idea to bring even more modularity
into Linux TCP. CM concepts that were harder to put into
the kernel are now possible.
Akshay Narayan et al discuss Congestion Control Plane (CCP).
CCP is a new way of separating sender side TCP into control
(sitting in user space) and datapath (sitting in the kernel).
Control state from the kernel is used by algorithms in user space.
User space algorithms use this information to control the
kernel’s congestion window or pacing rate.
The talk will describe the details of the design principles used,
kernel refactoring made, libccp which exposes user API, and
experimental results from the implementation.

New accepted talk.
ILA has come a long way since the netdev 0.1 days.
In this talk, Tom Herbert provides an overview of the
ILA protocol, motivation and use cases. He will further
provide an update of protocol standardization efforts and then
explore ILA implementation internals of both kernel and
user space. Finally Tom will run a demo of a simulated
RAN-in-a-box.

New accepted talk.
Liran Schour and Eran Raichstein discuss using the Skydive[1]
eBPF filtering capabilities and networking information to
create network analytics/insights with their tool CogNETive.
They are going to show how CogNETive utilizes the collected
information to provide operational insights for network
troubleshooting (eg anamoly detection).
In their talk they will demonstrate how operators can drill-down
on connectivity issues all the way to a single Linux interface.
CogNETive uses several common open source components (Grafana,
ElasticSearch, Spark etc ...) to create a layer of network
analytics on top of Skydive.

New Nuts-n-bolts Talk paper accepted.
Christoph Paasch, Mat Martineau, Peter Krystad and Matthieu Baerts
have been working very hard on kernel Multipath TCP(RFC 6824) support.
There have been difficulties in the past in upstreaming this
implementation due to its invasive architecture; however,
the authors feel that they have better understanding since
the last time they showed up at netdev conf 0.1:
The current MPTCP implementation has moved from it researchy
origins and is already used by millions of devices in production
environments. The protocol standardization is also now complete.
For these reasons the authors feel that experience has gained
them a lot of insight and they are ready to move forward
with upstreaming.
In this talk, the authors will do a gentle introduction of
Multipath TCP and mention some uses cases already in production.
They will discuss the challenges faced - both resolved and
ongoing. More importantly they will be looking for feedback on how to
best revamp the current implementation for upstreaming purposes.

New moonshot paper accepted.
Guy Shattah and Rony Efraim are back again.
At netdev 2.2 they discussed and demonstrated a PoC
to add connection tracking support.
They have taken the feedback given to them in Seoul and
and gained more insight.
In this talk they will briefly discuss the existing
offloading mechanisms already used by TC. The
addition of connection tracking within TC, and in more
detail ways to implement offloading of connection
tracking.
