[NBLUG/talk] [NBLUG/Announce] General meeting TONIGHT: Linux Bridging In A Virtualized Environment

[Allan Cecil]

I'd be curious to know what the other six mysteries of Linux are but I'm definitely looking forward to this talk. :)  I've seen hard-to-comprehend changes in naming schemes and new entrants such as DPDK and I'm interested to hear what the current state of bridging is.  I look forward to seeing people at tonight's meeting!

The answers to these and many other questions will be answered including how virtual instance use bridges and how they interact with the hosts IPtables.  The goal of this talk is to give the Linux Sysadmin the understanding needed to configure, use and trouble-shoot Linux bridges.
