The best description of Brown University, from Bess Kalb. (And to be clear, the heirs and star's kids are invariably also in that carton.)

https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/ is a really interesting read: it is cool to see what went wrong beyond the meme of "it is always DNS". (Also, it is always a race condition too.)

@pchaigno @fshahinfar1 That is fair: though none of us even knew about the NewStack article until yesterday, so we couldn't really have clarified the nuance.

@pchaigno @fshahinfar1 I'd go so far as to say that there are probably applications where offload makes sense.

@pchaigno @fshahinfar1 I agree with you: eBPF is a tool like anything else, and the findings are only about whether it makes sense to offload application functionality. There are many other networking use cases, including ones you have worked on @pchaigno for which it is a great fit.
