I understand it's longer (>1h), and can be more practical but, do we need to set an environment where attendees can participate? Can it still address limitations and give feedback to the community? For example: we had this comment from one of the reviewers: > What the features are doesn't matter nearly as much as how it's done and > what your experiences from doing it are.

It might be possible for one of us to travel, probably not the full week but at least the day of the tutorial. But the other two speakers would be remote. Is it possible? Also, when will we know the exact date & time of the tutorial so we can book the flights/hotel (as I said, we most likely would stay just for one day)? Finally, is there any funding available? That would help my employer to also find some budget for this. Thanks. Adrián

Greetings, I am delighted to have received confirmation of the acceptance of my abstract. Regarding the feedback received, the initial segment of the presentation focuses on a kernel implementation, while the subsequent part pertains to DPDK. We are open to splitting the presentation into two parts, each lasting 30 minutes, if that aligns better with the audience's preferences. Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Talk names: Socket Locality based Flow Selection in MPTCP By Satish Kumar <satish.kumar(a)bytedance.com>, Punit Agrawal < punit.agrawal(a)bytedance.com> A DPDK Implementation of MPTCP By Zhiqiang You <youzhiqiang(a)bytedance.com>, Wanchen Wang < wangwanchen.0316(a)bytedance.com> *Additionally, I kindly request an invitation letter for the Schengen visa application process.* Warm regards, Satish From: submissions-0x19(a)netdevconf.info Date: Mon, Feb 3, 2025, 7:15 PM Subject: [External] [Netdev 0x19] Accepted submission #25 "Performance Optimisation and Practices..." To: "Satish Kumar"<satish.kumar(a)bytedance.com> Cc: <submissions-0x19(a)netdevconf.info> Dear Satish, The Netdev 0x19 program committee is delighted to inform you that your submission #25 has been accepted to appear in the conference. Title: Performance Optimisation and Practices Based on MPTCP inside Datacenter Authors: Zhiqiang You (ByteDance) Satish Kumar (ByteDance) Wanchen Wang (ByteDance) Punit Agrawal (ByteDance) Site: https://0x19.netdevconf.info/paper/25?cap=025a2Ox-SBITYSk Congratulations! Some comments from reviewers ---- General theme of the feedback: This submission looks like two separate talks stuffed into one. I'm guessing the first part is more related to the kernel implementation (it's not clear to me from the abstract), in which case it could make sense to separate them (kernel and DPDK - both developers and users - tend to be different crowds). I think each part have enough merit to be a (maybe somewhat short) talk on its own. ---- Contact Netdev Society <submissions-0x19(a)netdevconf.info> with any questions or concerns. - Netdev 0x19 Submissions

Queries Regarding BoF Talk Presentation Submission
by Alkama Hasan 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear , I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification on a few points regarding the submission of presentation slides for our accepted Birds of a Feather (BOF) talk. Specifically, I would like to know: 1. Deadline: What is the deadline for submitting the presentation slides for the accepted BoF talk? 2. Format: Is there a specific format that we need to follow for the presentation slides? If so, could you please share the details with us? 3. Slide Coordination: Since it is a BoF session, will there be a common slide deck with the other presenters, or can we merge our slides later? Your guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Alkama Hasan

Hi team, According to the Croatia visa guidelines, it appears that, applications submitted less than 60 days before the travel date will not be accepted. As a result, it seems we won't be able to obtain a visa to visit Croatia within this timeframe. Could you confirm if we can transition our talk to a virtual format?

Re: [Netdev 0x19] Accepted submission #9 "Real-Time Prevention of DNS-Based Data..." with conditions

Hi Thank you for accepting my submission for inclusion in the conference. However, for talk in the nuts and bolts category, it won't be possible for me to attend physically at the conference venue due to visa restrictions, and my final graduate research defence. I am perfectly fine for the 45 minutes time limit though including QA. It would be really helpful if virtual talk is allowed for this submission. Alternatively, it is also fine for me to host a workshop virtually, but since my work is more tailoring towards security, I would prefer it to be put into the security category (internally using eBPF, kernel network stack, deep learning, distributed event streaming). My focus for the workshop would be more towards presenting advancement in building data loss prevention solutions for DNS to prevent all the emerging threats I have attached the modified proposal with changed title and abstract for workshop and source code repository. I would say my talk does not focus on discussing features lacking in eBPF in the kernel, rather only focuses on utilizing eBPF modern features added in latest kernel versions for building modern security solutions. However, I will still talk about eBPF kernel verifier instruction limitation causing some difficulty for me to fully parse DNS protocol questions inside the kernel. This is an open source framework built by me for my graduate research, and I would like to share my learnings with the kernel community. Also attaching the proposal for talk, if allowed to be held virtually, with source code repository. I look forward to hearing from you soon, about the next steps and format. I could present my research at netdev 0x19. Thanks, Vedang.

Hi, I have replied to the same email thread with my response on February 4, not sure why it didn't go through, Can you please check and let me know if it worked. I look forward to hearing from you, about the next steps for the format to be able to present my research at Netdev this year. Thanks, Vedang.

Hi Stefano, I am the author of /Mitigating the Double-Reallocation Issue for IPv6 Lightweight Tunnel Encapsulations/ (co-authors in CC). I was asked to coordinate with you, could you clarify how the BoF is organized and how I should structure my talk? Also, do you know if I need a coupon code for the talk?
