L3AF
L3AF is an industry-first platform for distributed management and composition of eBPF programs. Composition in L3AF means multiple independent eBPF programs can be dynamically combined or “chained” together to solve unique business problems.
Présentation
“Chaining” in L3AF means that the eBPF programs can be configured to run sequentially as configured by the user. eBPF programs can be reordered on the fly according to business needs. Chaining is a powerful feature that enables the composition of multiple, independent eBPF programs in order to solve unique problems.
We believe that eBPF users can benefit from the modular development and open distribution of eBPF programs. In this respect, we embrace the Unix philosophy of “write programs that do one thing and do it well.” Our vision is that the L3AF team, open-source community, and other businesses will develop independent eBPF programs that will be shared in a “eBPF program marketplace.” Users can then download a selection of signed eBPF programs and orchestrate them to solve their unique business needs.
L3AF empowers its users to remove expensive hardware appliances with software-defined networking in the form of eBPF programs. L3AF is currently being used in production to save money and reduce network hops. Real-world examples include the removal of commercial networking packets broker and hardware load balancer solutions.
