Capturing FC frames with wiresharka project by ptesarik AFAIK, wireshark is the best Linux tool for analyzing network traffic. Primarily intended for Ethernet networks, there is now also support for very different protocols (e.g. USB). Sadly, there is no support for fibre channel, most likely because there is even no infrastructure in the kernel. |
Investigate EtherCAT fieldbusan idea by a_faerber The Infineon XMC4800 EtherCAT Relax Kit microcontroller board has two EtherCAT RJ45 connectors. |
Analyze the security of Linux HTTPS connections and monitor the traffic of "smart" devicesan invention by thardeck I have Raspberry Pi with WLAN and an additional network module which can be run as a WIFI access point. |
layer3 cloudan idea by bmwiedemann One of the things that make deploying SUSE OpenStack Cloud hard is that it assumes that you have a layer2 network to do DHCP/PXE-boot, run your SDN on etc. |
netlink interface for ethtoola project by mkubecek There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started. |
DPHAT: Data Plane Health Assessment Tool For Cloud Networking Technologya project by rtidwell A common challenge for OpenStack and K8S deployments is debugging the network when things go awry. The aim of DPHAT is to provide operators of cloud infrastructure with tooling that can analyze the environment and supply the following: |
ethtool ops for netdevsima project by mkubecek This can be seen as a subproject of ethtool netlink interface but from the technical view it's independent. |
Hammer an Envoy service mesh onto a SAP S4/HANA landscape and watch everything explode.a project by STorresi Although CNCF projects are almost exclusively related to Linux containers, some ideas, like wrapping all the services into network proxies to create a distributed data-plane and enable true observability, could perhaps be explored for some kind of backport in complex legacy distributed systems, like... say... S4/HANA?! |
Give avahi some lovea project by e_bischoff Avahi is (among others) a domain names auto-configuration system for Linux compatible with Bonjour. |
make "predictable network interface names" more predictablean idea by mkubecek Since the so-called "predictable names" for network interfaces were introduced, the concept and mainly its implementation has been a target of a lot of critique and sometimes even hate. On the other hand, similar idea works reasonably well for block devices. |
