Kali release discussion

(a) Multiple Pods (Done)

(b) Multiple Hosts (Dependent of (d). Once (d) is completed we do this.

(c) Containerizing vswitch. Tried to create using Contiv-Vpp, but it fails to build the container. path: Node-1, Pod12 - /home/opnfv/contiv/vpp/docker/vpp-vswitch. 

(d) Containerized TGens.  The commercial ones have Licensing, ecosystem of pods challenges. Requires additional support. We will start with Opensource (through Internship).

(e) DanM. Parth Yadav had tried, and we can have it once he's ready.

(f) DPDK Version has any performance impact? ToDo Starting from 10th of May 2021.

(g) Different  Plugin?. Undecided. Requirement: Multiple Interfaces (multiple instances under multus). DPDK support within the pod. eBPF/Cilium?

(h) Memif interface. This has dependency on Userspace CNI Plugin.

Tried following Chaos Tools: Litmus, Pumba and Blockade. 

Litmus looks promising. We can explore using Chaos along with dataplane performance? This could be one of the tests.

This may be similar to 'Noisy-Neighbor' in VNF domain.
