0x14: Travel consideration update
by Jamal Hadi Salim 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

It has been brought to our attention that there are countries which may impose outbound travel restrictions of their residents as a counter-measure to coronavirus (2019-nCov). Our understanding is this applies mostly to our colleagues in Asia who want to attend netdev 0x14. It is also likely that by the time we get close to the conference things will be under better control than they are right now. We would like to optimistically keep on moving forward with registration. Please register and take advantage of the early bird rates. We will reimburse 100% of the rate to any registered attendee who is unable to travel because of government imposed travel restrictions. This rule applies whether you register at early bird rates or later. See you in Vancouver! cheers, jamal (on behalf of the NetDev Society)

0x14: nutsnbolts, The Path To TCP 4K MTU and RX ZeroCopy
by Jamal Hadi Salim 09 Feb '20

09 Feb '20

If you are a big shop like Google you are always looking to squeeze all the performance juice you can out of your CPUs. Given the large number of machines deployed, a 1% performance improvement could mean millions of $$ in savings in both capital and operational costs. In this talk, monsieur Eric Dumazet - the man sometimes refered to in passing as some form of ninja - will describe changes introduced by Google that help double TCP receiver efficiency in their datacentres. Eric will discuss various issues that had to be overcome and a variety of tuning that was needed to achieve these performance improvements.

0x14: nutsnbolts, What to do with 1/2 a bit? L4S, SCE, or ?
by Jamal Hadi Salim 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Imagine you have only one more bit left in the world! Scratch that. Imagine there is only a half bit left in the world. Then imagine there are multiple causes vying for this half bit. Who would you give it to and why? Yes, these things happen;-> A lot easier when it is between developers and a lot harder when it is to decide a standard that shall be cast in stone. The Internet Engineering Task Force (ietf) Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) has such a struggle going. There are presently 2 proposals before for the last unused code point in the IPv4/6 header - one by the Low Latency Low Loss Scalable throughput (L4S) folks (see Netdev 0x13 for L4S talks) and another from the Some Congestion Experienced (SCE) folks. In this talk, Rodney Grimes will describe the two solutions and their prototype kernel implementations; what changes are made to both TCP and IP layers, etc. Rod is then going to pose the $1M question and solicit feedback: is one approach better than the other or do we need a new outlook?

0x14: nutsnbolts, XDP in Open vSwitch
by Jamal Hadi Salim 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Being able to marry new Linux technology with existing "legacy" infra is valuable to allow for continuity. XDP is a relatively new technology introduced in Linux networking which enables more efficient packet processing. A common desire is to allow "legacy" packet processing functions to take advantage of the speed advantages offered by XDP. In addition to the efficiency factor, XDP also provides a time-to-market advantage: new network packet processing features can be added without need to go through the complexity of the upstreaming process. Toshiaki Makita and William Tu are still in pursuit of getting openvswitch to use XDP. In this talk Toshiaki and William attempt to marry OVS to XDP via: 1. Attaching XDP from kernel through UMH (user mode helper), 2. Reusing TC HW acceleration interface 3. Attaching XDP from OVS userspace daemon The authors will describe their approaches and challenges faced. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14/session.html?talk-XDP-in-open-vswitch Reminder, registration is now open and early bird is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html cheers, jamal

0x14: nutsnbolts, Using Upstream MPTCP in Linux Systems
by Jamal Hadi Salim 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

The Multipath TCP community started its engagement with netdev conf 0.1 (https://netdevconf.info/0.1/sessions/16.html) and have shown up to multiple other netdev confs after to solicit for feedback and report progress. After all that hard work MPTCP has finally been merged! In this talk Mat Martineau, Ossama Othman and Peter Krystad will provide advice to developers, ops and distros how to make good use of the upstreamed MPTCP. They will discuss kernel considerations, report on upstream merge progress to date, and introduce the Multipath TCP Daemon(mptcpd) to the Linux networking community. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14/session.html?talk-using-upstream-MPTCP-in-linu… Reminder, registration is now open and early bird is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html cheers, jamal
