The following tutorials are included in the main conference program of ONS. They do not require an additional fee or RSVP. Remember to arrive early; seating is first come, first serve. Don't forget to bring your laptop and a power cord.
Additional tutorials are also available on Monday, March 14th - the ON.Lab tutorial, the ONF SDN Market Opps Tutorial and the SDN 101 training. Please click here for details on these three tutorials, which do require a separate registration.

DPDK / BESS: Fast Packet Processing for NFV
Thursday, March 17 | 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Learn about cutting-edge technologies for high-performance packet processing on general-purpose CPUs. This session will start with Intel's Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), a set of libraries and drivers that can be used to receive and send packets within the minimum number of CPU cycles, develop fast packet processing algorithms, and run third-party fast path stacks. Then the discussion will cover to the Berkeley Extensible Software Switch (BESS) that picks up where DPDK leaves off: providing a modular framework for functions such as L2/L3 forwarding, IPsec, and firewalling. Developed jointly by UC Berkeley, Intel and AT&T, BESS offers both maximal extensibility and extremely high performance: outperforming current soft-switches for OPNFV usage models. This makes BESS ideal for custom applications---unlike monolithic software switches whose large baked-in feature sets consume resources and hamper extensibility.
