ebpf

Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is a technology that allows for the execution of sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel without modifying the kernel source code or loading kernel modules. It is utilized for various purposes, including network performance monitoring, security, and system tracing, by enabling the creation of high-performance network functions and observability tools. eBPF primarily benefits system administrators, network engineers, and security professionals who require advanced monitoring and security capabilities within the Linux environment.
