Creating and managing network devices, Traffic Control, routing and iptables, introspecting and manipulating network packets. That normally involves a lot of low level C programming, which introduces a huge gap between frontend (web and service oriented) and backend needs (systems programming). Go is excellent in bridging this gap in general, and thanks to the great work of the Go community, networking tasks are very easy to solve too. This session will introduce a set of libraries which form a comprehensive Swiss Army Knife to tackle almost any network related task on Linux with Go.
