The Program Committee has accepted the first nutsnbolts talk.
In this talk, Guohan Lu and Matty Kadosh are going to introduce SONiC,
a Linux based open source NOS (https://azure.github.io/SONiC/).
They will discuss the SONiC architecture, its integration with FRR
and kernel routing stack and the current status of SONiC.
They will go over some of the challenges they faced and how they
resolved them and then further discuss outstanding issues in Linux
Networking that the SONiC community is still facing.
More importantly, the SONiC community will take this opportunity
to provide feedback to the Linux Networking community as well as
solicit feedback on outstanding challenges.

Lorenzo Bianconi et al will provide a tutorial on how to add XDP support
to a NIC driver. They will start with the basics and lead to the
challenging issues a driver author would have to deal with.
The mvneta driver (Marvell Armada 3700LP chip on Marvell ESPRSSObin
board) will be used as an example.
The tutorial will be interactive and dissect code samples while
describing architectural challenges.
