First, André Oppermann gave a status report on his current work + on the interface between the network stack and the drivers. He + is planning to publish a formal documentation on the + stack-driver boundary and split the ifnet structure + into separate, stack- and driver-owned section, finally all + drivers will be adjusted to this new world order, and call for + feedback will be posted to the respective mailing lists. This + change is being implemented in the projects/ifq + Subversion branch, supervised by Ed Maste on behalf of the &os; + Foundation as sponsor. In addition to that, André is close to + complete his TCP-AO work, and also working on moving the IPsec + code into a pfil(9)-based kernel module. Besides that, + Gleb Smirnoff came up with the problem of implementing a + lightweight reference counting to avoid dangling pointers and + Alexander Chernikov started a discussion on the routing + performance.

+ +

Another highlight of the networking stack working group was the + discussion on testing, where everybody agreed that developers + should communicate with companies able to test the performance + with different workloads. Olivier Cochard-Labbé (from Orange) + and Alexander Chernikov (from Yandex) have already shown + interest in this effort, while the Netflix staff (Lawrence + Stewart, Adrian Chadd, and Scott Long) confirmed that they have + access to TCP-heavy production workload. On a related note, it + was added that Netflix is looking to host developer summits + focused on networking in Los Gatos, California, on a + semi-regular basis.
