Linux Kernel Network Stack Walkthrough
This presentation features a walk through the Linux kernel networking stack covering the essentials and recent developments a developer needs to know. Our starting point is the network card driver as it feeds a packet into the stack. We will follow the packet as it traverses through various subsystems such as packet filtering, routing, protocol stacks, and the socket layer. We will pause here and there to look into concepts such as segmentation offloading, TCP small queues, and low latency polling. We will cover APIs exposed by the kernel that go beyond use of write()/read() on sockets and will look into how they are implemented on the kernel side.

NetworkManager for the Enterprise
Why not run NetworkManager on all your systems? We've made huge leaps in complex networking configuration and functionalty over the last years, and best of all, NetworkManager will surprise you less! With new support for bridging, bonding, VLANs, Infiniband, Team, tun/tap, macvlan, gre, and more and a powerful new command-line interface, NetworkManager provides a consistent platform for network configuration and monitoring from laptops to the enterprise. Want it to be more static? It can be! Want it to respect changes you make with command-line tools? It will! Come learn where NetworkManager is heading, and how it can work for you today.

The consequences of finger swiping (openvswitch)
The buzzword of the moment is cloud. However, there is a whole open source infrastructure supporting it. The presentation will highlight some of the new developments in the networking stack and briefly explain some networking solutions used in production environments like NIC bonding, SR-IOV, openvswitch, vlan, IPVS, NIC offloading features and others.

tc and cls_bpf: lightweight packet classifying with BPF
This talk will give a walk-through of the traffic control layer and in particular packet classification with cls_bpf, a BPF engine based filter for classful qdiscs. It will walk through starting from iproute2 layer down to the kernel's BPF JIT compiler. Talk is in English.

VDSM pluggable networking
oVirt's hypervisor component, VDSM (Virtual Desktop and Server Manager) is in charge of leveraging the power of the FOSS OS and virtualization stacks and expose it in an easily consumable API for the Manager component. Up until now, the networking part of it only worked in EL6/Fedora distributions. In this talk, we'll go through the changes that have happened in networking so that now we are compatible with any GNU/Linux distribution, and how you can make your own vdsm networking plugin in a few steps.

oVirt - Neutron integration
As the prominent open-source data center virtualization solution, oVirtrelies on a powerful and easy approach to configuring a data center'snetwork. By leveraging the advanced network capabilities offered byNeutron, the OpenStack Networking project, oVirt's maintainers aim tobring this field even further, allowing data center administrators touse advanced capabilities while maintaining the simplicity of oVirt'snetwork management approach. Join us in this session, and discoverhow oVirt currently leverages Neutron and the road-map to future networkvirtualization in the Data Center.

DDoS protection using Netfilter/iptables
Can Netfilter/iptables really be used for DDoS attack protection? I though it was too slow for that.

In this talk I will present the recent developement, for mitigating DDoS attacks using Netfilter/iptables, the Linux kernels firewall facility. The talk will cover the recent SYNPROXY modul and other less know techniques, and the needed kernel parameter tuning.

glibc network name resolution issues, solutions and alternatives
I've been researching various issues in name resolution an the getaddrinfo() function for quite some time. Now we're coming up with an alternative implementation and API. With this new project, we target multiple goals. While the original motivation was to provide a framework to test and eventually resolve glibc getaddrinfo() issues, we're now coming up with a bunch of new use cases including standalone use for asynchronous address resolution and replacing any application's getaddrinfo() call for testing purposes using a wrapper program.

DNSSEC (not only) on workstations
The support of DNSSEC in server software it pretty good, but there are still missing parts of DNSSEC support in client side software. Client side support is important, since some applications can benefit from DNSSEC validated DNS responses (such as SSH fingerprint validation or TLS/SSL certificates validation). The talk will be about the current situation in Fedora, used projects (unbound dnssec-trigger combination) and how it is all integrated with NetworkManager. We will reveal also future plans for better integration with NetworkManager and even better user experience.
