Architecting eBPF Kernel Socket Filters (6337)
Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Architecting eBPF Kernel Socket Filters (6337). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters and zero-copy packet processing. This article explores the lifecycle of a socket filter, from BPF program verification to JIT compilation, and demonstrates how to achieve sub-microsecond latency on commodity NICs.
eBPF/XDP kernel filter evaluates TCP/UDP frames directly on server NIC.
