Nile Progress M1 Release Plan Due M2 due
| all | Review Sridhar Rao input Started Release Plan for ViNePerf Nile Reviewed the VinePerf Release Plan above. Several Moselle JIRA tickets need to move to Nile. (edit fix version) 1, 2, 5, Shivank will look at these, 3, 4, 6 Sridhar will look at. Shivank and Sridhar will meet separately to discuss. We concluded that our JIRA tickets are in good shape for M2, but Dave will probably let us know for sure... | |
| Update INFO.yaml | Al Morton reviewed, suggested a change, removed that change, suggested the revised meeting link and time. | ||
| eBPF | Sridhar presented slides, which he will use to familiarize Anuket with XDP and eBPF L3AF project in LFN - life cycle management on eBPF programs Cillium project has done some of their own benchmarking - but uses some unknown TCP: https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/operations/performance/benchmark/ Not much uptake in telco - still many operations issues. The Cillium community agrees that they have not made a good case for telco usage (in conversations with Sridhar). | ||
| Shivank's Intern update |
Shivank's report for last week: https://github.com/Alt-Shivam/eBPF-CNI Pod 18 connectivity not working for several days, impacting Shivank's work. Tim G says working... Need Pod 12 working as well. There is an active JIRA ticket and comment stream. Shivank testing with a VM and K8s cluster - can try out locally Need to review mid-term Mentoring report - Al and Sridhar completed in last half of the meeting. ACTION Al Morton invite Maryam meeting to discuss performance (when we agree it's the right time). | ||
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 |
Not DONE YET??? - Progress for Moselle (summary: items 5,6,and 7 lack the necessary automated address discovery feature, defer)
6/14 moved to 6/21 but no Moselle page update? Patches have been submitted to Releng, but have not been committed yet. Release manager must give go ahead after TSC approval.
Patches still open. possibly earlier, VinePerf Patches have been merged.
see Moselle Release
| 1 | Epic-VINEPERF-672:Create Tools as part of moselle release | 1. Done (Yet to submit the patch) 2. Another - Will not implement - Idea is already stale. | CCLA for Moselle release (LF as C) CCLA issue resolved Patch is submitted - Done. | |||
| 2 | Epic-VINEPERF-671:Add support for newer software versions | Completed testing. | Done | |||
| 3 | Epic-VINEPERF-670:Create clean workflows for Baremetal, Openstack and Kubernetes Usecases | Workflows are drawn-up. Implementation may need few more days. Request for 1 week more. | Minor work needed for K8s Workflow DONE??? I think so. | |||
| 4 | Epic-VINEPERF-669:Improve Stability for moselle Release | 1. Bug Fixes (2 patches) | Done | |||
| 5 | Epic-VINEPERF-652:Enhance XTesting-ViNePerf Integration | Moved to Next Release | depends on 7 | |||

| 7 | Task-VINEPERF-654:XTesting-ViNePerf Integration Enhancement - Kubernetes | Will not implement due to limitations with CNIs. Moved to Next release - if CNIs support this. | Need CNI to add flows automatically in Switches (Userspace-CNI, supports DPDK, OVS, VPP). Major impediment to integrate with X-Testing Sridhar will check with Xavier if ARP resolution is supported in Prox as a switch TBD | |||
