DockerCon 2017 Black Belt Session: Cilium for Network and Application Security
Scott Lowe
APRIL 17, 2017
This is a liveblog of the DockerCon 2017 Black Belt session led by Thomas Graf on Cilium , a new startup that focuses on using eBPF and XDP for network and application security. Graf starts by talking about how BPF (specifically, extended BPF or eBPF) can be used to rethink how the Linux kernel handles network traffic.

The WebRTC application development process requires a cycle of repeat testing using powerful, expensive client machines. Traditional web testing is ineffective for WebRTC applications and can cause an over-reliance on time and resource-heavy manual testing. WebRTC network sensitivity is another headache. It’s as simple as that.
