Building the next generation of programmable networking – powered by Linux
Note: See the Security and safety of Linux systems in a BPF-powered hybrid user space/kernel world project page for another project related to BPF usage in the Linux kernel.
The project seeks to explore areas related to programmable networking, with a particular focus on the eXpress Data Path (XDP) technology in the Linux kernel.
Areas currently being explored include:
- Adding queue management to XDP
- Using BPF to efficiently monitor network latency
