The revenge of the listening sockets

The revenge of the listening sockets: "Back in November we wrote a blog post about one latency spike. Today I'd like to share a continuation of that story. As it turns out, the misconfigured rmem setting wasn't the only source of added latency."

bcc: Dynamic Tracing Tools for Linux (IOvisor github)

bcc: "bcc is more than just tools. The BPF enhancements that bcc uses were originally intended for software defined networking (SDN). In bcc, there are examples of this with distributed bridges, HTTP filters, fast packet droppers, and tunnel monitors. BPF was enhanced to support more than just networking, and has general tracing support in the Linux 4.x series. bcc is really a compiler for BPF, that comes with many sample tools. So far bcc has both Python and lua front ends. bcc/BPF, or just BPF, should become an standard resource for performance monitoring and analysis tools, to provide detailed metrics beyond /proc. Latency heat maps, flame graphs, and more should become commonplace in performance GUIs, powered by BPF."
