Re: [hackathon] Sponsor for the hackathon?

[<[e-mail]>]

Since I am attending the hackathon remotely, and only for one day (Saturday), I started early to get the project going.  

 

I completed Linux user-space code to have a host join a new IPv6 link-local multicast address.  Hosts being used in the switch ML paper can use this code for IPv6 switch ML.   See https://github.com/hesingh/linux-user-space-ipv6-mcast

 

Next, I am looking into the Linux kernel so that a network interface joins a new well-known IPv6 link-local multicast address on interface initialization.   After the kernel work, the Linux host software would be complete.  Hosts can use either user-space software or kernel software.  Thereafter, I will move to writing P4 code for the switch to send ML updates to the IPv6 hosts.  

 

Since Charles Eckel is at Cisco Live, I will get my github user account added to the IETF github hackathon repo later.  My goal is to first complete the code in any public repo.

 

Cheers,

 

Hemant

Here is the main hackathon info page:

https://www.ietf.org/how/runningcode/hackathons/105-hackathon/

 

It includes important info and links for the hackathon, including a link to the wiki.

https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/105hackathon

 

A link to the code, in GitHub or elsewhere, would be a good thing to include in your description. 

If you don’t already have a location for the code, I’d be happy to create a repo for you here:

https://github.com/ietf-hackathon

 

Cheers,

Charles

Note, the code changes in the email below are in C so that switch ML has hosts with IPv6 and switch ML support. 

 

For P4,  I will write p4-16 code for switch ML to send a IPv6 link-local multicast message with configurable payload.

I could not find a wiki for the hackathon.  I wanted to enter one thought for what I’d do on Saturday of the hackathon.  I cannot make it for Sunday.  Anyway, here is my thought via email.

 

Change Linux networking stack to filter IPv6 traffic on a new link-local multicast address, e.g., FF02:0:0:0:0:0:1:8.  I will make the address configurable.  Time permitting, I will change FreeBSD as well.  The work supports this draft: 

 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hsingh-ipv6-coin-ml-02 

 

Later, I can send the code out for review to the respective communities.  This way, the switch ML algorithms can move to IPv6 using Linux hosts.  The latest version of the above draft now includes a formal technical report research paper on switch ML.

 

Best,

 

Hemant

Hi Marie-Jose,

 

Thanks for championing this project at the hackathon. It is great to have Noviflow involved and helping in this way. We will work with you offline to determine how best to proceed with recognizing them.

 

Cheers,

Charles

Hi: 

 

I am the champion behind the P4 hackaton. We have had a lot of support but in particular from a local Montreal company called “Noviflow” who are getting us licenses for tools and will send some of  their programmers to help us. So in fact they are “sponsoring” our hackaton. Would there be a way to thank them on the site? Actually this is going multi-way: as a IRTF co-chair and long time IETF collaborator as well as a Montreal native, I am trying to get more participation from Montreal-based companies and academic institutions in IETF/IRTF and Noviflow is frankly my first success story :) 

 

Let me know…
