Explore Network Transformation in a New Podcast Series
This month we launched a new video podcast series, hosted by Jim St. Leger, Data Plane Software Product Line Manager at Intel. The video series tackles some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities in transforming the network. The first episode covers the case for business transformation for communications service providers (CommSPs), describing how advances in virtualization and cloud technologies are shifting the landscape. Check out new episodes every two weeks through the end of the year on our YouTube* playlist or Social Hub. Future episodes will take a closer look at technology solutions, business use cases, and more. Tune in to find out how your business can benefit from network transformation here.

Webinar: Quality of Service and Flow Management in OpenStack* Neutron
During this presentation, two areas of development in OpenStack* Neutron will be discussed. The first is quality of service; we will describe how to enable it, the back-end drivers it is implemented on, and the features currently available and in development. Extension interoperability in OpenStack Neutron will also be discussed, specifically in regards to the Open vSwitch* driver and the extensions use of the OpenFlow* tables.
FD.io* Second Software Release Now Available
The FD.io* Project, focused on the creation of high performance, flexible, and scalable software defined infrastructures, announces the availability of the community's second software release (16.09). The 16.09 release adds considerable functionality from across three of the FD.io projects in support of NFV/SDN usage targets. In addition to enhancing the core VPP (vector packet processing) data plane library, 16.09 adds a netconf/restconf Honeycomb management to manage the data plane components from an external OpenDaylight* controller, as well as a VPP plugin enabling network service header (NSH) service function chaining (SFC).
Visit the FD.io project for additional details on the release as well as pointers to the open source software and other resources.

NFV & Data Plane Optimizations: Tools and Tips
This tutorial will talk about how the problem of fast packet processing on standard Intel® architecture-based servers is solved using software and hardware acceleration like the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) and SR-IOV. The session will start with the basic motivation and design of DPDK and how it accelerates SDN/NFV components such as FD.io,* Open vSwitch,* and Berkeley Extensible Software Switch (BESS), and how it integrates with hardware solutions like SR-IOV. The hands-on sessions will focus on how to use Open vSwitch with DPDK and SR-IOV to achieve near-bare-metal performance. The session will end with tips and techniques of performance optimization on modern multi-core CPUs with some performance benchmark figures.
This event will be part of the IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks. For more information about the conference and the tutorial, visit the conference website.

Soft Switches and Network Function Virtualization in the Open Source World
With the advent of software defined networking and network functions virtualization, switching has moved from fixed-function ASICs to soft switches running on commodity hardware. There are various open source soft switches that do the function of forwarding traffic at line rate across VMs, including Open vSwitch,* Berkeley Extensible Software Switch (BESS), FD.io,* and Lagopus.* Each of these switches has a use case that motivated its advent. This meet up will present the background and architectural overview of each of these switches and the problems they solve in the SDN/NFV space.
