Recently, eBPF has become the de-facto standard for Linux observability, allowing people to retrieve runtime information of software running on a server at unprecedented flexibility and granularity. However, the advantages of this technology are not limited only to monitoring and tracing applications.

The goal of this workshop is to present the current alternatives to build userspace network applications using kernel-bypass technologies such as DPDK, Netmap, FD.io. During the first part of the workshop I will present the foundamental concepts behind the technologies, their main APIs and the performance advantages/disadvantages compare to existing in-kernel solutions (e.
