Here is an agenda for the XDP summit. We expect this to be a lot of
interactive conversation so the agenda can be dynamic as needed!

Thanks,
Tom

- ILA router

Does this ILA router do multi-leg routing? If not, then I would add
the use case for "normal" routing.

- load balancer
- others?

Use-case: DDoS filter
- This was the original use-case from CloudFlare at netdevconf[1]

Use-case: RAW packet capture
- IDS systems like Suricata needs this (af_packet not fast-enough)
- Only support "steal" mode

- page pool

Given I'll not participate physically, I'll give my page-pool status
here.

The page-pool idea was presented at MM-summit in April 2016:
http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2016/generic_page_pool_mm_summit2016.pdf

Since I've written a more details design document (reviewed by Tom and
Alexei). I've not implemented any code for the page-pool yet. I've
read and discussed the current page-allocators per cpu caching of
order-0 pages with Mel Gorman. Mel is open to changes in this area.
We are looking at doing a "native" bulk between page-pool and
page-allocator, by aligning/sharing some of the same data-structures
(I see this as the page-pool "backend"). I want to prototype implement at
page-pool frontend, in-order to (1) benchmark if it is fast-enough
for perf-target, (2) to figure out the API drivers needs.

great. thanks for sharing. I'm not yet clear on front/back split here.
I guess the patches will clear things out.

btw we'll have bluejeans for remote attendees:
