Another exciting talk accepted.
In this talk titled "LSDN - Manage complex (virtual) networks in cloud environment with Linux kernel facilities" Vojtech Aschenbrenner et al present LSDN, a tool for effortless management of complex (virtual) networks.
Often management of virtual networks has dependencies on complex infrastructure orchestration tooling - encumbered with long running agents like OVS etc. LSDN has no external dependency on any such tools and leaves no agents running thus not only improving usability but also robustness of the operations. The tool relies entirely on the functionality provided by the Linux kernel, mainly on the Traffic Control (TC) subsystem with its recent features.
Vojtech will describe LSDN features and challenges faced in its development (and how various kernel and iproute2 issues were addressed); then delve into how to write applications centred around the offered C-library and backends. Vojtech will conclude by talking about the future plans for LSDN.
