Network Function Virtualization has moved from idea to POC to implementation stage. The challenge still remains to get bare metal performance from virtual machines. This two day deep-dive session has experts from Intel talk about the various hardware and software technologies Intel has been working on to make the life of an NFV developer easier.

The first day will be a DPDK deep dive with the first half dedicated to the architecture and code of DPDK core libraries. The first day will end up with you as a coder being able to play around with the ip pipeline sample app and develop the code around it, The session will end with a talk on how AT&T is using the technologies you just learnt about in a real world PoC.

In the second day we will let you get your hands dirty with fd.io (http://fd.io/) (a software switch), IPSec/ containers and also ONOS. The day will end with you forming teams and proposing an open source project you want to work on. You will be getting hardware access for 15 days after the workshop to work on your project, and you will need to submit your project before Dec 23rd. We will declare winners by Jan 12th and the winning teams will get a chance to speak on a subsequent event.
