DESCRIPTION:Prof. Luigi Rizzo\, Università di Pisa\, Italy\nAbstract:\nCo
 mmodity operating systems can normally handle only a small fraction of the
  maximum packet rate present on 10 Gbit/s links. Barely enough for the lar
 ge packets involved in TCP traffic\, this does not permit the development 
 of software packet processing nodes in the safe and convenient runtime env
 ironment that a general purpose OS makes available.\nIn this talk\, we wil
 l discuss the factors that limit the network I/O performance\, and discuss
  a few solutions to the problem with their pros and cons. We will continue
  the talk with an overview of a recent packet I/O framework called netmap\
 , which we recently developed.\nACKNOWLEDGEMENT Work supported by EU FP7 P
 roject "CHANGE" (257422)\n\nBio:\nLuigi Rizzo is a Professor of Computer E
 ngineering at the Universita di Pisa\, Italy. He has been a research visit
 or at ICSI (UC Berkeley)\, Intel Research Cambridge\, and Intel Research B
 erkeley working on various projects related to software routing and traff
 ic monitoring. His research focuses on computer networks and operating sys
 tems.\nIn particular\, he has done some highly cited work on multicast con
 gestion control\, FEC-based reliable multicast\, network emulation\, and m
 ore recently on packet scheduling and fast network I/O. Much of this work
  has been implemented and deployed in popular operating systems and appli
 cations\, and widely used by the research community. These include the pop
 ular "dummynet" network emulator (a standard component of FreeBSD and OSX\
 , and now also available for linux and windows)\; one of the first publicl
 y available erasure codes for reliable multicast\; the qfq packet schedule
 r\; and the netmap framework for fast packet I/O.\nLuigi has been General 
 Chair for SIGCOMM 2006\, TPC Co-Chair for SIGCOMM 2009\, and TPC member/re
 viewer for many networking conferences and\njournals. He is currently invo
 lved in two EC-funded projects called CHANGE and OPENLAB.
