David - Congratulations on also being selected to present at NetDev! thanks! donald ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jamal Hadi Salim via people <people(a)lists.netdevconf.org> Date: Sun, Feb 10, 2019 at 2:22 PM Subject: [NetDev-People] 0x13: moonshot, Linux on Access Switches: Requirements & Features To: people <people(a)netdevconf.org> Cc: <program-committee(a)netdevconf.org>, <equinox-netdevconf(a)diac24.net> The Linux kernel has successfully made its way across datacenter top-of-rack and spine switches. David Lamparter says the data centre is a friendly sane environment. You aint seen nothing yet. Campus distribution and access switches need to deal with a much more hostile environment. In this talk he intends to collate the currently relevant features for deploying campus and access environments. He will give some operational context, and suggest implementation strategies. https://netdevconf.org/0x13/session.html?talk-linux-switch-req-feat A note to all: Early bird registration is still open until Feb 20th. https://netdevconf.org/0x13/registration.html cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ people mailing list people(a)netdevconf.org https://lists.netdevconf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/people

FRRouting (6.0.2) now available in Debian buster/testing
by David Lamparter 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Hi all, I'm pleased to announce FRRouting 6.0.2(-2) is now available in Debian testing (buster)! Please note that if you have an earlier version installed (e.g. from CI auto-packages), you will be auto-updated to 6.0.2 unless you mark the package for hold. It may be necessary to do this as the official Debian packages have been considerably cleaned up and reworked compared to 6.0 and older; there are some visible changes particularly in init scripts and startup behaviour. (These changes were merged in 6.0.1. If you already are at that or newer, the update should be smooth sailing.) Ubuntu has also auto-copied the package to their 19.04 / disco branch. This means that unless something unexpected happens, FRRouting will be available in the following upcoming distribution releases: - Debian 10 / buster (expected to become "stable" in 2~3 months) - Ubuntu 19.04 (expected to release end of April) If you have installed pre-release versions of either of these distributions, installing FRRouting is now a matter of doing a plain "apt install frr". FRRouting will very likely remain at the 6.0.x release train for both of these distributions. If you want to receive updates to newer major versions, manual intervention will still be needed (there might be a PPA/repo at some point.) Cheers, -David

Mark - Congratulations on being accepted to talk about your work on FRR's data plane. thanks! donald ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jamal Hadi Salim via people <people(a)lists.netdevconf.org> Date: Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 8:46 AM Subject: [NetDev-People] 0x13: An Asynchronous Dataplane for FRR To: people <people(a)netdevconf.org> Cc: <program-committee(a)netdevconf.org> Nuts and bolts Talk. The FRR (Free-range Routing) software suite is going through a revamp. There is a move to an async threaded model which is planned to utilize new netlink features to improve scalability. This model will also allow programming FIBs and NHs on remote systems. In this talk Mark Stapp will describe the current state of the work and challenges involved in achieving this goal. Some initial results and future plans will be discussed. https://netdevconf.org/0x13/news.html?talk-FRR-async cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ people mailing list people(a)netdevconf.org https://lists.netdevconf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/people
