" summary

Preview session summarizes concrete claims and tools across NSDI: RDMA vs kernel‑bypass shows one‑sided RDMA accesses can skip remote CPU but require NIC co‑processor tradeoffs; smartNICs and FPGA prototypes (TONIC, NetTLP) target line‑rate transport offload; NVMe/NVMM papers (FileMR, i10) build file‑backed RDMA and in‑kernel NVMe stacks and report near‑RDMA throughput; programmable packet scheduling reduces hardware state via limited priority approximation; measurements use atlas/scans and looking‑glasses; security demos include homomorphic/time‑encrypted queries, enclave hardening and PrivateEye VM compromise detection.
