Network Virtualization and Security track

Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 9:30am – 12:30pm
Room 27
 

The Linux Plumbers 2014 Network Virtualization and Security track is focusing design and implementation of virtualization and security in the networking stack. Network virtualization is undoubtedly an exciting and disruptive technology that is becoming pervasive in the data center, however it could easily become a security and privacy nightmare. We need to address these issues as a community. This is important not just for the success of virtualization or cloud, but, I believe, is paramount to the future of the Internet itself!

Presentation slots are limited to 10 minutes with a maximum of 3 slides plus time allocated for the actual discussion. Each presentation should consist of a problem statement and a list of possible approaches to problem to enable community discussion.
