Jason Xing will lead a BoF on the exciting topic of network observability.
Network observability has evolved from classic tools like `tcpdump` toward richer, layered capabilities that let engineers trace root causes after problems arise.
The scope of this BoF is to discuss new ideas and survey existing techniques (which collect wide-ranging data points such as latency, throughput, skb drops, protocol diagnostics, reference counting, and many others).
Specific sub-topics on the current agenda: 1. BPF timestamping 2.0: finer-grained, very low-overhead timestamping for broader use cases. 2. IETF TCP reset diagnostic payload: replacing current reset reasons with common APIs and messaging.
Very welcom topics for discussion include how AI's rapid evolution may reshape network observability.
Please ping Jason if you want to participate!
