eBPF/XDP Data Planes:: In-Kernel Packet Processing for High-Throughput Networks - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book, eBPF/XDP Data Planes: In-Kernel Packet Processing for High-Throughput Networks, explores the architecture, mechanisms, and practical engineering of modern in-kernel networking built on eBPF and XDP. It traces the evolution from user-space frameworks to fully programmable, high-performance kernel data planes, detailing how eBPF enables dynamic packet processing, observability, and policy enforcement at line rate. Through in-depth chapters, it examines verifier safety, JIT compilation, map structures, offload capabilities, and integration with orchestration systems, while presenting real-world case studies from telco, edge, and cloud environments. Designed for engineers, researchers, and practitioners, the book provides a comprehensive foundation for building scalable, efficient, and secure network platforms directly within the Linux kernel.
