Toward a Verified, Minimal IPv6 Network Stack Implementation

Moderators: Gerwin Klein
Speakers: Wyeth Greenlaw Rollins
We are completing the implementation of a minimal, pure IPv6 network stack optimized to run on IoT endpoints connected to a network through a Layer 2 Ethernet interface. This implementation supports only the minimal set of protocols (IEEE 802.3, ICMP, IP, and UDP) to provide efficient UDP-based communication between an IoT endpoint and any other host.
We believe our implementation will provide high performance and reliability through a strict application of separation of concerns and elimination of all unnecessary data copies while keeping the codebase amenable to verification.
In this talk, we report on our progress implementing and verifying this networking stack.
