Again reminder:
1) June 1st is the deadline for early bird (20% off) registration fees.
2) We do have bursaries for folks who need help getting to the
conference.Closes on June 20th. Open to all members of the community.
New Nuts-n-bolts Talk paper accepted.
Christoph Paasch, Mat Martineau, Peter Krystad and Matthieu Baerts
have been working very hard on kernel Multipath TCP(RFC 6824) support.
There have been difficulties in the past in upstreaming this
implementation due to its invasive architecture; however,
the authors feel that they have better understanding since
the last time they showed up at netdev conf 0.1:
The current MPTCP implementation has moved from it researchy
origins and is already used by millions of devices in production
environments. The protocol standardization is also now complete.
For these reasons the authors feel that experience has gained
them a lot of insight and they are ready to move forward
with upstreaming.
In this talk, the authors will do a gentle introduction of
Multipath TCP and mention some uses cases already in production.
They will discuss the challenges faced - both resolved and
ongoing. More importantly they will be looking for feedback on how to
best revamp the current implementation for upstreaming purposes.

New moonshot paper accepted.
Guy Shattah and Rony Efraim are back again.
At netdev 2.2 they discussed and demonstrated a PoC
to add connection tracking support.
They have taken the feedback given to them in Seoul and
and gained more insight.
In this talk they will briefly discuss the existing
offloading mechanisms already used by TC. The
addition of connection tracking within TC, and in more
detail ways to implement offloading of connection
tracking.

DIM lib is a net driver independent framework for dynamically tuning
interrupt moderation recently merged in 4.16 and used by several
drivers. It exposes an API which any driver may use in order to optimize
its throughput, packet rate, latency and interrupt rate.
In this talk Tal Gilboa will go into details of the DIM workflow,
algorithm used, how to integrate into your driver; and last but
not least performance benefits.

Another exciting moonshot talk.
Recently there have been discussions for the replacement of iptables
with an eBPF-based approach.
In this moonshot talk, Fulvio Risso et al discuss what they feel is
needed to make such a transition. Is eBPF ready to replace iptables?
Come find out and participate in the discussion.

PP: The early bird registration is still on at 20% off regular price.
Another exciting tutorial.
Project CRIU works against cruelty on containers. To all you who treated
containers like cattle - meet CRIU where containers are treated like
pets.
Come to this tutorial by Andrei Vagin, Mike Rapoport and Pavel Emelyanov
and learn how to show tender loving care to your TCP applications.
Learn how to checkpoint a TCP session in one container and restore
it on another(possibly different machine).
This instructor-led tutorial will start with illustration of a simple
TCP application migration code; it will then lead towards demonstrating
a more complex example where a container with an active ssh connection
is checkpointed on one host and restored on another host (and the
connection remains live after the restore).

PS: The CFS is officially closed as of today. Thanks to everyone
who submitted. For those who have not yet been notified of the status
of their submissions, rest assured the program committee is working
hard and you will get a response.
PPS: The early bird registration is still on. After June 1st
it goes up.
Stefan Schmidt will chair a working session with face to face
discussions on IoT related MAC layers, header compression and
routing protocols.
In no particular order the agenda would roughly cover:
o ieee802154 and 6lowpan subsystem status update for the last kernel
releases
o Defining a userspace API to configure 6lowpan header compression
options
o Discuss what needs to be done for an ieee802154 hardMAC extension to
the stack
o Improve test coverage with hwsim, tdc, scapy & TITAN
o Thoughts on software fallback implementations for ieee802154 CSMA
and AACK
o Thoughts on a LoRa subsystem (with SCHC addition to 6lowpan) for Linux
please contact Stefan to request for a slot for the above or new
relevant topics.
