This document discusses Mellanox Technologies' work on hardware offloading for Open vSwitch using DPDK. It describes concepts for using hardware classification offloading to accelerate Open vSwitch by offloading flow rules and classification to the NIC. It provides examples of performance improvements seen from using hardware classification offloading for Open vSwitch workloads. It also discusses approaches for using multi-table classification and hardware offloading for VxLAN encapsulation and decapsulation in Open vSwitch.
Accelerate Service Function Chaining Vertical Solution with DPDKOPNFV
Service Function Chaining (SFC) is one of top 5 NFV use case. Supporting SFC in provider and enterprise networks requires performance assurance. Specifically, the Classifier and the Service Function Forwarder which are typically implemented in software such as virtual switches need to match line rate requirement. DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) is an open source project comprising a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. In this presentation, we will discuss our experiences accelerating SFC with DPDK. In addition, Telco and Datacenter carriers demands dynamic SFC that requires new SFC wire protocols (e.g. VxLAN-GPE and NSH) support in both data and control planes. We intend to share our experiences and future works of a high performance, NSH-aware SFC vertical solution with open-source ingredients: Openstack, Opendaylight, OpenvSwitch with DPDK acceleration.

Fully programmable SmartNICs allow new offloads like OVS, eBPF, P4 or vRouter, and the Linux kernel is changing for supporting them. Having these same offloads when using DPDK is a possibility although the implications are not clear yet. Alejandro Lucero presented Netronome’s perspective for adding such a support to DPDK mainly for OVS and eBPF.

DPDK performance
How to not just do a demo with DPDK
The Intel DPDK provides a platform for building high performance Network Function Virtualization applications. But it is hard to get high performance unless certain design tradeoffs are made. This talk focuses on the lessons learned in creating the Brocade vRouter using DPDK. It covers some of the architecture, locking and low level issues that all have to be dealt with to achieve 80 Million packets per second forwarding.
Packet processing in the fast path involves looking up bit patterns and deciding on an actions at line rate. The complexity of these functions at Line Rate, have been traditionally handled by ASICs and NPUs. However with the availability of faster and cheaper CPUs and hardware/software accelerations, it is possible to move these functions onto commodity hardware. This tutorial will talk about the various building blocks available to speed up packet processing both hardware based e.g. SR-IOV, RDT, QAT, VMDq, VTD and software based e.g. DPDK, Fd.io/VPP, OVS etc and give hands on lab experience on DPDK and fd.io fast path look up with following sessions. 1: Introduction to Building blocks: Sujata Tibrewala

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
