Explore a 45-minute conference talk from RustLab on building composable and safe architectures for network packet monitoring. Dive into the benefits of using channels and async tasks for implementing a flexible packet inspection system. Learn how channels can be advantageous over locked data structures when sharing data between tasks or threads. Through code examples, gain insights into the architecture's details and understand how Rust's features contribute to safer parsing and dissection of network packets and untrusted data sources. Discover common pitfalls in packet parsing and how Rust helps mitigate them. This talk is suitable for those with basic knowledge of Rust and network protocols, offering valuable insights for both beginners and intermediate developers in the field.
