Last week I was lucky to attend NetDev for the first time. An enjoyable week filled with Linux networking, from AI networks to TCP to time-sensitive container communication. NetDev has an amazingly involved audience – we had over an hour of discussions after my talk! Hope to you at a future NetDev!
It's an honor to be invited to give the keynote at NetDev this year! If you're at the conference this year, I hope to see you today.

Paper writing rule of the day:
Using mathematical notation does not mean your description is precise.
Describing something in prose does not imply it must be imprecise.
