Ethernet Switch Support in the Linux Kernel

Explore Ethernet switch support in the Linux kernel through this informative conference talk. Delve into hardware Ethernet switches on SoC families and their network functionalities, including VLAN tagging, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation. Learn about Linux's ability to offload network processing using switchdev and DSA APIs. Gain insights into Ethernet switches and their features, understand the differences between switchdev and DSA APIs, and discover sample implementations and userspace usage. Presented by Alexandre Belloni, an experienced embedded systems developer and Linux kernel maintainer from Bootlin, this talk provides valuable knowledge for developers working with embedded Linux systems and network functionalities.
