Networking and Multicore/NUMA - The Last Mile

Date: 2:40pm, Wednesday, September 29th
Location: Quarante 2
Topic: Kernel
Presentation: {Slides}

Much work has been done in the area of multicore and NUMA scalability of the Linux network stack, such as hardware multiqueue support and more recently, software Receive Packet Steering. We will examine what we have achieved so far, and more importantly, what remains to be done before we have a stack that is able to process each packet without touching any global state. Areas covered include routing, netfilter, and packet scheduling.
