FreeBSD 8.0 New Release and Virtualized Networking for All

6:45 pm, Suspenders Restaurant

FreeBSD 8.0 New Release and Virtualized Networking for All

The release of FreeBSD 8.0 brings with it many new features but none has 
been more anticipated than the full integration of network stack 
virtualization into the system. Virtualized network stacks have the 
potential to revolutionize the use of FreeBSD in the same way that Jails 
did, by providing a lightweight mechanism through which multiple clients 
or customers can use a system`s networking resources without interfering 
with each other. My talk will cover not only network virtualization but 
also all of the other features and improvements that are present in 
FreeBSD 8.0

About the Speaker:

George Neville-Neil works on operating systems and networking for fun 
and profit. He is the co-author with Marshall Kirk McKusick of "The 
Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" as well as 
the column Kode Vicious.
