Polycube

Just wanted to turn you on to polycube project: https://github.com/polycube-network/polycube

BPF and XDP are the main Linux kernel technologies on which Polycube is based upon. BPF supports dynamic code injection in the Linux kernel at runtime, enabling the dynamic creation of a data plane. The BPF data plane has a minimal feature set which avoids processing overhead and is exactly tailored to user needs.

It appears to be a container-focused networking platform, with some new conventions mixed with emulation of familiar legacy API - e.g.:

pcn-iptables: is a clone of iptables that is able to filter packets passing through a Linux host, demonstrating how packet filtering can be achieved with impressive performance, while at the same time guaranteeing the same command line and the same external behavior of the original software.

I am somewhat familiar with Polycube even though I never tried it. It makes a great use of eBPF and I believe it would be nice to have a dedicated entry. Would you be willing to submit a PR?
