Software Defined Networking continues to be an exciting and growing field and FOSDEM gives an opportunity to reach a large audience of knowledgeable, highly technical, free and open source software activists. Topics: ======= This year the devroom topics will include the following fields. Domain IoT, Cloud, Enterprise, Service Provider, Wireless and Cellular. Physical low power, mesh, high throughput, low latency, optical, wireless Infrastructure switching, routing, load balancing, translation, authentic, crypto, detection, intercept Tooling libraries, frameworks, tracing, debugging, domain specific languages and extensions. Telemetry counters & statistics, interference, analysis, automation. Validation performance, latency, packet manipulation & fuzzing, traffic generators. Orchestration management, network-layer plugins and controllers. This year the devroom will focus on cloud infrastructure, and the challenges of scaling and resiliency posed by cloud deployments - what does it take to build a fast and robust cloud native network?
