Network World ☛ Linux Foundation’s L3AF brings zero-downtime updates to eBPF network management
A challenge for enterprises that operate large-scale network infrastructure has long been how to maintain performance while updating critical systems. The Linux Foundation’s networking division (LF Networking) is helping to address that challenge with the L3AF project, which is based on eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology.
With the new L3AF 2.1.0 update, the technology is gaining a series of improvements including: enhanced observability features, application container improvements, and expanded network interface management functions.
“L3AF is an open-source project aimed at simplifying monitoring and control networks of large-scale cloud applications,” Ranny Haiby, CTO of networking, edge and access at the Linux Foundation, told Network World. “Some of the main use cases for L3AF are in traffic rate limiting, DDoS mitigation, traffic quality monitoring and network observability.”
