Netdev 2.1 is the fourth edition of the technical conference on Linux networking. This conference is driven by the community and focus on both the kernel networking subsystems (device drivers, net stack, protocols) and their use in user-space.
This edition will be held in Montreal, Canada, April 6 to 8, and the schedule has been posted recently, featuring amongst other things a talk giving an overview and the current status display of the Distributed Switch Architecture (DSA) or a workshop about how to enable drivers to cope with heavy workloads, to improve performances.
At Bootlin, we regularly work on networking related topics, especially as part of our Linux kernel contribution for the support of Marvell or Annapurna Labs ARM SoCs. Therefore, we decided to attend our first Netdev conference to stay up-to-date with the network subsystem and network drivers capabilities, and to learn from the community latest developments.
Our engineer Antoine Ténart will be representing Bootlin at this event. We’re looking forward to being there!
