This Thursday, October 26th, 7:30pm-10:00pm Silicon Valley OpenSolaris User Group presents Sun Distinguished Engineer Erik Nordmark, speaking on IP Instances.
The IP Instances project is taking zones networking to the next level. In the current Solaris 10 implementation of zones there is a single instance of IP, even though each zone has its own IP addresses and transport port number spaces. This is sufficient for multiple zones being on the same VLAN or LAN. But when there is a need to connect different zones to different VLANs or LANs, there is often a need to provide complete IP-level isolation inside the box. IP Instances provides such isolation, and as a side-effect provides more IP features for non-global zones (DHCP, IPsec, IP Filter). Together with Crossbow (which Sunay Tripathi spoke on in August), IP Instances will push the limits on networking and provide state of the art solutions on OpenSolaris. In addition, we'll have a short presentation by Sangeeta Misra on the Surya project. Surya will deliver a fast forwarding table lookup scheme, a streamlined V4 forwarding path, and API functions for use by IP Filter. Surya speeds up forwarding throughput significantly. Both of these projects will help Solaris networking substantially, and could have a big impact on many applications running on Solaris within our community.
