Katran is an eBPF-based Layer 4 load balancer designed for high-performance network packet forwarding directly within the Linux kernel. It utilizes an XDP network packet processor to bypass the standard kernel network stack, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput for incoming traffic. The system implements weighted consistent hashing to distribute network loads and maintain session persistence across backend servers. It further optimizes the return path through a direct server return gateway, which allows backends to respond directly to clients and removes the load balancer from the out

This project is an educational resource providing a comprehensive development tutorial for writing and loading eBPF programs using C, Go, and Rust within the Linux kernel. It serves as a technical guide for developing custom logic to execute directly in the kernel. The materials cover specialized domains including kernel observability and tracing, security implementation for intrusion detection, and high-performance network engineering for packet filtering and load balancing. It also includes dedicated manuals for Linux kernel tracing and the use of kprobes, uprobes, and tracepoints. The pro
