Perfect. Sounds fascinating. Will attend. When it's planned?

Hello all, I suggest to give a lecture about Linux Kernel Networking; Linux Kernel Networking is a fascinating topic; there can be no doubt about its importance. It is also a very wide subject; about 20% or more of the kernel code is of the Networking subsystem. Topics I suggest to deal with are: - The internals of Linux Kernel Networking, focusing on a walkthrough of a packet through layer 2 (link layer), layer 3 (network layer) and layer 4 (transport layer). - Routing, neighboring and bridging subsystems of the linux networking kernel stack. - The nitty-gritty details of kernel networking implementation, dealing with some important data structures like sk_buff and net_device, the routing tables and the routing cache, the arp table and the arp cache, and more. - ICMP error messages, like redirect to host (ICMP_REDIR_HOST) or Time to live exceeded in transit (ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED) : under which circumastances do they occur. - User space tools like the good old net-tools and the more modern IPROUTE2 tools, what are the benefits of IPROUTE2, etc. - a brief survey of new and future trends in kernel networking: IO/AT, NetChannels, TCP Offloadig, RDMA, mulitqueus, and more. The lecture can be scheduled on 20.8.07 or at a later date. (but not before this date ).
