eBPF and Kernel Extensions
3rd Workshop on eBPF and Kernel Extensions
In conjunction with
ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication 2025
September 8-11, 2025
São Francisco Convent
Coimbra, Portugal
eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is an innovative technology that has been gaining popularity in the networking and operating system community for its flexibility, safety, and efficiency in programming end-host network and OS stacks. Despite the numerous advantages of eBPF, there are several research challenges in leveraging it for novel use cases. These challenges include the difficulty in integrating eBPF into current systems, the potential performance overhead when executed in the kernel, limitations of existing programming hooks and APIs, and the programming restrictions and challenges imposed by the need for safety as enforced by the eBPF verifier. To tackle these issues, a cross-disciplinary approach is necessary, combining techniques across network protocol design, programming languages, operating systems, compilers, hardware architecture, and formal verification.
