What's New?
New Courses Available from Intel® Network Builders University
Intel® Network Builders University continues to grow with the addition of four new courses this month. The first three courses were contributed by an Intel® Network Builders partner, Red Hat.*
In addition to this series, there is a new course on the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) 16.11 & 17.02 New Features. This DPDK course describes the new features introduced in the two most recent DPDK releases: 16.11, which was released in November 2016, and 17.02, which was released in February 2017.
Intel Network Builders University is one of three learning centers in Intel® Builders University, which also includes the Intel® Cloud Builders University and Intel® Storage Builders University. Intel Builders University offers software defined infrastructure–focused technical training for communication service provider customers, enterprise customers, and ecosystem partners. It is a resource to accelerate the deployment of virtualized technologies through education.
The online portion of the University is available through a simple registration here. Registrants have access to all of the content in the three learning centers and the new courses added each month. Please take a look, and after exploring the offerings, let us know what content you would like to see added to the university.

Technical Spotlight
Introduction to the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) Packet Framework
This article describes the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) Packet Framework, which allows rapid prototyping of real-world packet processing workloads on multicore Intel® CPUs with great flexibility and performance. This framework is based on three DPDK libraries: librte_port, librte_table, and librte_pipeline.
A Low-Latency NFV Infrastructure for Performance-Critical Applications
This article and paper describe how to characterize network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) latency and use optimization toolsets and fine tuning to achieve deterministic NFV performance in an open source infrastructure. Aligns with OPNFV* best practice for tuning Linux-based* KVM hypervisors.
Using Open vSwitch* and DPDK with Neutron in DevStack
This tutorial shows how to use DevStack to configure a demonstration or test cluster for OVS-DPDK on OpenStack,* using the Neutron ML2/GRE Tunnel plugin.
Technical Training
Platform Transformation for NFV and SDN (Santa Clara, CA)
In this talk, Ilango Ganga, a principal engineer at Intel, will illustrate the life of a packet through a typical NFV platform, from the physical infrastructure through to the heart of the application. Ganga will also discuss three pillars that underlie NFV: packet processing, security, and service assurance, each of which will require platform transformation. Finally, Ganga will highlight the tradeoffs involved in balancing the needs of performance and flexibility; a key part will be the interfaces between the virtual network function (VNF) and NFVI.

Date: May 2
Time: 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Location: SC9-Auditorium, Garage B, 2250 Mission College Blvd., Santa Clara, CA
Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) Summit (Bangalore, India)
This DPDK Summit will bring together telecommunications, data center, and enterprise networking industry leaders and technical experts from around the world to discuss and share the technical solutions for the efficient packet processing challenges in an open source community setting. Please register at www.dpdksummit.com to confirm your attendance. The attendance is free, but you need to be registered to attend.

Webinar: Monitoring the NFV Infrastructure
As operators transition to NFV, monitoring solutions need to adapt. The classic model, based on hardware solutions, is not only challenged economically, but is also blind when it comes to monitoring traffic within the virtualization platform. In this webinar, Nicolas Bouthors, CTO at Enea* – Qosmos* Division, Sujata Tibrewala, Network Technology Evangelist at Intel, and Gabriel Brown, Principal Analyst - Wireless Data Services & LTE at Heavy Reading,* will discuss how operators can use flow-based monitoring, integrated in the NFV infrastructure, to enable key OSS/BSS functions such as service assurance and troubleshooting. Special attention will be given to implementations using open source software.
