Netdev 0x14 Remote participation
by Kiran Makhijani 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hi Jamal, I attended netdev 0x14 last year and find it very educational, informative as well as engaging. But I cannot travel for 4 days in addition to IETF 107. Therefore, I was wondering if there is a possibility of remote participation? I am aware that videos are generally available on YouTube (Which will be last resort), but anything live is always better. Thanks Kiran

0x14: Keynote speaker, Nick McKeown.
by Jamal Hadi Salim 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

We are honored to announce networking industry visionary Nick McKeown as the keynote speaker for Netdev 0x14. Nick McKeown has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University since 1995. In 2005, he started the Clean Slate Program at Stanford, which with Martin Casado and Scott Shenker, led to "Software Defined Networking". He co-founded Nicira (now part of VMware), Abrizio, and Nemo ("Network Memory", now part of Cisco), as well as ONF, ON.Lab, and P4.org. He also co-founded Barefoot Networks in 2013, which was recently acquired by Intel, where he is now Senior Fellow. His current passion is to move the network data-plane from fixed-function hardware up and into software where it belongs. He hopes this will foster much faster innovation in networking, and finally hand over the keys to those who own and operate networks, to customize them to best suit their needs. Nick is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK). He received the British Computer Society Lovelace Medal (2005), the IEEE Kobayashi Computer and Communications Award (2009), the ACM Sigcomm Lifetime Achievement Award (2012), and an Honorary Doctorate from ETH (Zurich, 2014). What does Nick want to talk to us about? Nick has a vision on how we can work together to realize a world where owners of large networks can express the behavior they want in their network using a high-level language, and then seamlessly compile and deploy it across all their various network devices. How do we get there? Please come listen, hear him and engage him. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14/session.html?keynote-mckeown cheers, jamal

0x14: nutsnbolts, Performance improvements for NVMe/TCP
by Jamal Hadi Salim 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

In this talk Sagi Grimberg will look back at the journey and experience gained so far in the last year since introduction of kernel NVMe/TCP. He will then build on that context to describe various experiments conducted to measure performance - more importantly the latency achieved with current kernel NVMe/TCP. Part of the experiments will explore different NIC vendors' features (Intel ADQ, Mellanox aRFS, etc) that can be put to bear on behalf of improving overall performance and latency. Sagi hopes to create a discussion based on some suggestions on what he believes are useful enhancements that can be made to the driver. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14/session.html?talk-performance-improvements-for… Although we never close our door, reminder: registration is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html Registering earlier helps us plan better. cheers, jamal

0x14: nutsnbolts, Security and Control of SR-IOV: What’s Our Responsibility if the Kernel is Bypassed?
by Jamal Hadi Salim 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Network kernel bypass is becoming more common. Often the given rationale to bypass the kernel is that it takes too long to develop and enable the kernel for new features. Kernel bypass opens the possibility of multiple, independent agents trying to independently (and directly) use and manage resources. This breaks the assumption that the kernel is the central system resource manager. The sanity and security of the system can be compromised. In this talk, Carolyn Wyborny and Tom Herbert will look at this issue with the perspective of SR-IOV’s Virtual Functions (VF); they will introduce the problems of control and security in the context of kernel bypass. They will propose some potential solutions and finally they hope to initiate a community discussion on the topic. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14-staging/session.html?talk-security-and-control… Reminder, registration is now open and early bird is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html cheers, jamal
