Modernizing the BSD Networking Stack [pdf]

  This was a really interesting talk; it doesnt seem that the video has been released yet and I thought he had given it elsewhere but not sure that is the case as i cant find it.

    It was at AsiaBSDcon 2015. Was there a more recent one?
    • justincormack 11y ago
      For some reason I thought he had given it again, but I think I was mistaken.

          How does that tell you if the talk has been given a second time somewhere else or not?

  So are these changes actually getting into NetBSD?

  Does anyone know how network cards with support for multiple virtual interfaces (ie. anything modern) fits into this? I'd guess they get separate ifdevice_t instances (reflecting their interrupt and I/O rings)? I wondered if there was any value in representing the fact that they all come from the same physical card in the abstraction? It seems a little odd not to mention it given current hardware.

    It's right at the top of slide 9. "For some types of configurations one hardware interface may need to be represented by multiple protocol interfaces"
