1)First Tutorial: IPsec/IKE lab

Fear IPSec no more.

Sowmini Varadhan and Paul Wouters will guide you through
the theory then the operations for two hours!
You will be walked through the steps for setting up IKE/IPsec
on VMs on your laptops. A number of other VMs will be made available
as targets to connect-to for the different IKE scenarios via Libreswan.
These scenarios include some commonly encountered roadblocks
that will be used to teach IPsec trouble-shooting issues.

2)Nuts-and-bolts Talk: Communication Groups in TIPC
Jon Maloy will talk about the new TIPC Communication Groups.
Communication groups provide the basis for a
performant and scalable kernel based brokerless message bus.

3) 0x12: Moonshot Talk: BBRx: Extending BBR for Customized TCP Performance

The future of optimal TCP involves robots! Jae Won Chung et al will
discuss an extension to BBR they call BBRx which is loosely coupled to
machine learning.
They will describe how they study TCP path attributes in user space at
runtime to find an optimal throughput-delay operating point. The results
are then fed back to the kernel to tweak it.

Performance of BBRx is evaluated in both LTE mobile as well as telco
wireline environments and compared with classical CUBIC and BBR.
