Maybe instead: > > BERKELEY PACKET FILTER (BPF: Safe dynamic programs and tools) pile on :) I think eBPF is no longer acronym. 'e' stands for 'extended', but BPF is no longer 'packet filter' only and definitely not 'berkeley'. So I'd rather keep BPF as a magic abbreviation without spelling it out, since full name is historic and no longer meaningful. I've considered coming up with brand new abbreviation and full name for this instruction set, but none looked good and all lose in comparison to 'eBPF' name, which is concise and carries enough historical references to explain the idea behind new ISA. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
