Netconf 2026 and Netdev 0x1a – Bootlin
A Bootlin engineer reports from Netconf 2026 and Netdev 0x1a, a Linux kernel networking conference held in Rome with 130 in-person attendees. Key highlights include a talk on representing timestamp uncertainty with error bars for distributed system debugging, a drivers workshop discussing the rising revision counts caused by AI review tooling (like sashiko) and a proposed score-based patch prioritization system to manage growing mailing list traffic from LLM-assisted contributors. Intel's new ixd/idpf driver family and auxiliary bus resource sharing were also presented. The next Netdev is planned for Zanzibar, with Linux Plumbers Conference in Prague this fall.
