  1. 1. Towards Performance Evaluation and Future Applications of eBPF

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Manideep Gunturu; Rohan Aluguri; [2024]
    Keywords : eBPF; XDP; Iptables; Filtering; Performance evaluation;

    Abstract : Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is an instruction set and an execution environment inside the Linux kernel. eBPF improves flexibility for data processing and is realized via a virtual machine featuring both a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler and an interpreter running in the kernel.
