Linux Networking and BPF
PLUMgrid will lead a session on enhancements in Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) which brings universal data plane extensibility into the Linux kernel. PLUMgrid has worked with the Linux community to contribute and upstream code to BPF to increase the flexibility of the Linux kernel for networking, tracing and security use cases. The enhancements have been leveraged by Linux developers worldwide to build in-kernel virtual network functions.  

SDN for Containers 
Containers offer application developers speed, efficiency and portability for spinning up apps and running them on a wide variety of environments, from virtual machines to bare metal, in both public and private clouds. As container adoption rises, data centers increasingly need secure and scalable virtual network infrastructure to connect applications and workloads.

At Red Hat Summit, PLUMgrid will demonstrate how PLUMgrid ONS provides a secure, scalable and extensible virtual network infrastructure to easily coordinate and secure applications in a container and virtual machine environment. PLUMgrid ONS is certified with the latest release of Red Hat OpenStack distribution, RHEL-OSP 6.
