L3AFD kernel function control plane

L3AFD: Lightweight eBPF Application Foundation Daemon

L3AFD is a crucial part of the L3AF ecosystem. For more information on L3AF see https://l3af.io/

Design

L3AFD is the primary component of the L3AF control plane. L3AFD is a daemon that orchestrates and manages multiple eBPF programs, which we refer to as Kernel Functions. L3AFD runs on each node where the user wishes to run Kernel Functions. L3AFD reads configuration data and manages the execution and monitoring of KFs running on the node.

L3AFD downloads pre-built eBPF programs from a user-configured file repository. However, we envision the creation of a community-driven Kernel Function Marketplace where L3AF users can obtain a variety of Kernel Functions developed by multiple sources.
