The sequence
- 1PDP-201 · Inside the Linux Kernel Network Stack Follow a single packet from the NIC driver to a socket and back, and say what happens at each step.
- 2TRN-301 · TCP BBR and Custom Congestion Control Understand BBR's model, read its kernel code, and build and evaluate a custom congestion-control module.
- 3OBS-210 · Automated Network Testing with TRex and Kitune Script repeatable traffic tests, collect and analyze the results, and publish a benchmark report.
- 4OBS-201 · Cloud-Native Network Performance and Monitoring Find the bottleneck in a cluster network, measure it, and set an SLA you can keep.
- 5RDM-210 · RoCEv2 and Converged Fabric Deployment Design, configure, and troubleshoot a lossless Ethernet fabric that carries RDMA alongside TCP/IP.
