This time veteran netdever Stephen Hemminger digs into the semantics of names. Names have consequences he says. Title: What's in a name? --- Network device names have existed from the earliest days of Unix networking and their usage has evolved. This talk is a look at some of the issues with network device names. kernel developers often think the problem is a userspace issue and nothing can be done but the names are a key part of the existing ABI. In the talk, I will cover how the choice of naming policy interacts with applications and cloud environments, what current expectations are, and how this interacts with cloud infrastructure. There is no solution but there are several things that can be done to improve the user experience. Will also give examples including Amazon, Azure, Google Compute as well as other non-Linux environments. ----- Please note that The Call for Proposals is still open, submit early to avoid the hazards of last minute traffic.
