| all | Review Sridhar Rao input Started Release Plan for ViNePerf Nile | Shivank's Intern update |
There are 3 eBPF bridge options - need a simple packet forwarder Shivank tried to create his own bridge - was able to build successfully https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tutorial/tree/master/packet03-redirecting works. Next step is to test the interfaces (with iperf, see if it works). we will finish the basics first. Using Pod 18 now. Next phase is using k8s pod for loopback and Cillium CNI on Node 4 (this is a 6 month Internship).https://wiki.anuket.io/x/04GwAQ VinePerf Release Plan 1, 2, 5, Shivank will look at these, 3, 4, 6 Sridhar will look at. | ||||||
| eBPF | L3af - life cycle management on eBPF programs Not much uptake in telco - still many operations issues Cillium project has done some of their own benchmarking - but uses some unknown TCP: https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/operations/performance/benchmark/ Sridhar presented slides, which he will use to familiarize Anuket with XDP and eBPF The Cillium community agrees that they have not made a good case for telco usage (in conversations with Sridhar). | ||||||||
| Shivank's Intern update |
Learned about Trex and prox and operating them successfully, using nodes pod 12, but node 4 is failing constantly https://jira.anuket.io/browse/INFRA-6. Need to review first Mentoring report ACTION Al Morton invite Maryam for (or later) meeting to discuss performance. | ||||||||
Post review of Daniele's work closure to Daniele's work and see if there is anything worth publishing, may consider less-selective conferences if novelty is less | Sridhar | Some issues we dig into now No reply from simonartxavier@gmail.com and Luc? Al and Sridhar sent new messages. Once we containerize prox, and we assign multiple cores to single interface, it crashes. how can we run Prox with multiple cores in a container?? | |||||||
| Tasks and Action Plan for Shivank |
| ||||||||
Open Programmable Interface Project (Linux OPI) Change CPU NIC architecture, more autonomy and CPU power goes to NIC in OPI, more than smart NIC now. New Trust boundary between Autonomous NIC and CPU. | Sridhar | New project, governing board formed and TSC meeting set. Opportunity for Benchmarking: work with us. Need to know planned NIC speeds, Need NIC HW to benchmark. There will be a test bed discussion, UNH and Keysight collaboration - using Keysight tools. We want to join the collaboration. Maybe UNH would welcome our help to some degree. Need some time to understand how the DUT HW will be obtained and installed. Also Remote access (for us, like Intel labs). | |||||||
| Testbed - IXIA support | Sridhar/Al | 2nd ACTION: Do we have support from Ancuta or other IXIA person? Al Morton sent e-mail ACTION: License for IXIA HW - Check with Trevor Trevor Cooper says connected and powered on, but we still might have a license issue. Need Pierre's help. this seems to have stalled ... | |||||||
| Additional Mentoring input | Sridhar/Federica | Federica Past meeting: python scripts. Possible combine 1 and 3 @Sridhar will expand on the proposal descriptions and Federica will begin to ask students about their interests. python scripting with K8s is possible for some students in 3rd year. Projects must have resume value, add skill set or new experience. Sridhar Rao created some projects. ACTION: See proposals & review https://wiki.anuket.io/display/HOME/Potential+Projects+for+Student+Volunteers

| Intern (background info) | Sridhar/Al/Federica/Shivank | XDP performance Studies for Cloud-Native NFV Use Cases "Maryam Tahhan joins the crew to talk XDP, AF_XDP, and fast networking" Operations support seems to be a big issue, and performance is currently about 0.7 of VPP and DPDK | |||||||
| K8s on Pod 12 | Sridhar | will look into it |
