2)New Nuts-n-Bolts Talk! Suricata, an XDP adventure
Suricata 4.1 will include eBPF and XDP support. In this respect,
Suricata is amongst pioneers in deploying these technologies in a
production environment. The journey to get to eBPF and XDP support
and remove the cobwebs took about 2 years. Eric Leblond will describe
some of the challenges met and how they were addressed to get to
production level quality.

Switchdev and related offloads.
