The tech committee would like to announce a new accepted talk from
Anjali Singhai Jain along with
Alexander H Duyck, Parthasarathy Sarangam and Nrupal Jani
The details are as follows:
-------
The paper and the presentation will quickly go through a time lapse of
Network virtualization as it evolved, successes and failures and the
reasons behind those. Revisiting history and understanding the present
and future use cases for Network virtualization will fuel the future
Hardware and Software designs for a better end user experience and
pushing the envelope on Network virtualization. Intel and the industry
has seen many generations of Network virtualization.
The talk will be focused on two important areas:
Briefly Analyze the past and present
Make a case for the future technologies
The talk will go deep dive into HW challenges in two areas of Network
Virtualization:
Why the Hardware offloads and getting them just right is important
(Goldilocks effect), may be SRIOV is little too much.
Host interface exposed by a network Virtualization device and how
do we get that just right
The talk will also cover what the future SW model for Network
Virtualization is shaping up to be
The best control and data plane split that works for Network or
compute intensive VMs/Containers.
Why less is more in some cases for the Virtual function device.
Is true SR-IOV a good answer in all cases, are Mediated devices a
better compromise
To conclude we will go over the upcoming Virtualization technology
supported by VFIO Mediated devices and PCIE specification for PASID,
what problems will that solve. How do we get the software model right in
this case and learn from our mistakes with SR-IOV.
