0x1A: Tutorial, Making Time Uncertainty a First-Class Concept in Linux Timing
by Jamal Hadi Salim 14 Jun '26

14 Jun '26

Maciek Machnikowski continues his tradition of teaching us about Time. In this session, Maciek reframes timestamps as intervals with quantified uncertainty rather than precise points, arguing that explicit uncertainty windows let applications reason about temporal correctness without hidden accuracy assumptions. He discusses sources of uncertainty such as clock sync offsets, network delay jitter, hardware timestamping limitations, and kernel-to-userspace transfer paths. Ignoring these, argues Maciek, causes errors in ordering, causality detection, and compliance checks. He will describe a time-uncertainty daemon sample and discuss Linux kernel API gaps. Come and grow your knowledge with a real human maestro! More details: https://netdevconf.info/0x1A/sessions/tutorial/making-time-uncertainty-a-fi… cheers, jamal

0x1A: Workshop, What's next for the PSP Security Protocol
by Jamal Hadi Salim 12 Jun '26

12 Jun '26

Willem de Bruijn will chair a workshop on PSP Security Protocol. PSP is an inline cryptography protocol optimized for large-scale datacenter deployments. It scales to high performance and high connection count. PSP is supported by network devices from Broadcom, Intel, Nvidia and others and by the Linux kernel as of v6.18. Current hardware implements the initial PSP Architecture Spec. In this workshop Willem will lead a discussion on candidate extensions for the next version of PSP, such as confidential compute and multi-host support. Future directions for the Linux kernel PSP stack and support infra such as packetdrill test coverage will be covered. cheers, jamal

0x1A: BoF, New Age Tooling
by Jamal Hadi Salim 11 Jun '26

11 Jun '26

The networking subsystem has been on the receiving end of a lot of bugs discovered using AI and often patches generated by AI. In this BoF we will explore experiences and tools of trade in the security aspect of generating the bugs and fixes, effect of AI generated fixes, doing code reviews, and generating kernel patches. The WAG agenda (still being updated!) is here: https://netdevconf.info/0x1A/sessions/bof/new-age-tooling-bof.html Dont miss out! cheers, jamal

0x1A: Keynote Speaker, Greg Kroah-Hartman
by Jamal Hadi Salim 04 Jun '26

04 Jun '26

We are honored to announce our Netdev 0x1A keynote speaker, Greg K-H. If you are a Linux developer and dont know who Greg is, you are very likely living under some big rock somewhere. Maybe this would remind you ;-> https://netdevconf.info/0x1A/sessions/keynote/Greg-Kroah-Hartman.jpeg Greg is a Fellow at the Linux Foundation. He is currently responsible for the stable Linux kernel releases, is a member of the Linux security team and CNA, and is a maintainer of the USB, TTY, and driver core subsystems in the kernel as well as other portions of the codebase that he wishes he could forget about, but LLM-generated reports keep that from happening! Greg's keynote is titled "LLMs and the kernel security process" Right now the networking subsystem is taking the brunt of the abuse of recent LLM advances with a flood of “security” bug reports. Greg will go into a bit of the history of what has been happening, how the kernel security team has tried to make it better, and perhaps a few things that we can do in the future to reduce the load you all are currently having. Also any feedback on what the kernel security team can do better to help aleviate the load is always welcome. Come and listen and interact with Greg. cheers, jamal

Call for participation: New Age Tooling BoF
by Jamal Hadi Salim 01 Jun '26

01 Jun '26

Apologies for the shotgun - I wasnt sure how to best reach out given the short notice. The recent AI tool bug onslaught (on the victim side for me) has highlighted the changing landscape on development tooling. As an initial skeptic I have to say the quality and accuracy of the AI analysis makes me feel like i have been in some deep slumber. I am still very clueless. And for these selfish reasons, I am helping organize a BoF at netdevconf 0x1A (week of July 13 in Rome.it) to discuss this new age of tooling. This BoF is a catch all for folks engaging AI in security (you will be in a friendly environment!), building tools, doing code reviews, generating patches and general automation. The intended focus is networking, but adjacent areas are also welcome. Come and discuss your tricks of the trade. The contribution can be in the form of a talk, tutorial or demo. cheers, jamal

Netdev 0x1A – Book Attractions Early
by Christie Geldart 15 May '26

15 May '26

Hi everyone! As we look forward to Netdev 0x1A in Rome this July, I wanted to share a travel tip to help you make the most of your trip. Rome is one of the busiest travel destinations during the summer season, and tickets for many of the city’s most iconic attractions sell out very quickly! I highly recommend booking any sightseeing activities or tours now to avoid disappointment. Some of the most popular attractions that you may want to book in advance are: The Colosseum & Roman Forum : https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/categorie/singoli-1-8-persone/ <https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/categorie/singoli-1-8-persone/> Vatican Museums & the Sistine Chapel: https://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/organizza-visita/tari… *Dress code is enforced: shoulders and knees should be covered.* The Pantheon: https://portale.museiitaliani.it/b2c/buyTicketless/33f77159-0acd-40c4-8524-… *Dress code: Cover shoulders, Avoid very short shorts or skirts, Avoid crop tops or overly revealing clothing* Castel Sant’Angelo: https://castelsantangelorome.com/tickets-castel-sant-angelo-rome/ Other attractions that cannot be booked in advance but absolutely worth seeing: St. Peter’s Basilica: Admission to Saint Peter's Basilica is free to access with no pre-booking needed but there are some tour, such has access to the Basilica dome (which if you are scared of heights, you may want to skip), which would need to be booked in advance: https://booking.basilicasanpietro.va/en/idea/41280461/basilica <https://booking.basilicasanpietro.va/en/idea/41280461/basilica>*Dress code is enforced: shoulders and knees should be covered.* Trevi Fountain - free to see but €2 fee if you want to enter the lower basin area and get close to the fountain itself to toss a coin - can not be booked in advance - https://share.google/n1szinVcnKr3Ze3xu Spanish Steps - free to access - https://share.google/NuZELn6iw3a8Iitj9 Borghese Gardens - free to enter the gardens - https://www.sovraintendenzaroma.it/i_luoghi/ville_e_parchi_storici/ville_de… Basilica Papale di San Paolo Fuori le Mura (within walking distance from the conference) : free to enter - https://basilicasanpaolo.org/ *Dress code is enforced: shoulders and knees should be covered.* Please note that 'get my guide tours' are usually readily available but often have pricing that is much higher than the attractions website ticket pricing. Booking through the attractions direct website is the best way to ensure the ticket is authentic and that you get the best price! Happy planning! Christie

0x1A: First Gold Sponsor, Jump Trading!
by Jamal Hadi Salim 28 Apr '26

28 Apr '26

We are very pleased to _welcome back_ Jump Trading Group as a Gold sponsor for Netdev conf 0x1A! Thank you for your support! Jump Trading builds and operates the systems behind global markets. Their infrastructure depends on fast, reliable networking, which requires spending a lot of time working closely with the kernel to achieve that. Jump engineers design and maintain high-performance systems that move large volumes of data across global networks while meeting tight latency and reliability constraints. That work spans everything from user space applications to kernel-level networking, where understanding how the system behaves under real load matters as much as raw performance. https://netdevconf.info/0x1A/news/gold-sponsor-jump-trading.html cheers, jamal
