Interview with Shivank

Sridhar and Al

We had a great chat with Shivank. Sridhar has made the Internship responsibilities clear and assigned some initial tasks. Shivank prefers this to be a 3 month term, IIRC.

 

Development for Moselle Release

Off-line

M4 Due next May 24, 2022   Moselle Schedule

Moselle Release Progress

see Release table below, specific M4 Requirements are:

RI validation testing completed. The lead for each RI presents the validation plan and results to the TSC.
High priority Jira issues resolved (closed or assigned to future release)

@Sridhar Rao Added reviewing for 6-7 patches in gerrit last week.

ACTION:  @Al Morton  review the patches in gerrit, review Daniele's big patch first!  Update the Moselle table below as these reviews are completed.

@Al Morton has reviewed all patches from Daniele and Sridhar, all are merged.

 

ITEMS Below Deferred for future meeting

 

 

 

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.

May 11, 2022 this seems to have stalled ...

 

Additional Mentoring input

Federica

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

 

 

LFN Intern/Mentoring proposal

Sridhar/Al/Federica

Proposed 2022 Work Under LF Mentorship Program

XDP performance Studies for Cloud-Native NFV Use Cases

@Al Morton to connect with Maryam,  DONE.

"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

ACTION:  EVERYONE, review the papers as selected, plus the Intro of the thesis paper

@Al Morton the Intro to the Thesis is good, as Sridhar suggested.

We have been contacted twice by a strong candidate Intern, Shivank Chaudhary, who will complete the application process ASAP. He has already reviewed the project materials and papers, and is still very interested.

 

Work for next month

Sridhar

Bring closure to Daniele's work and see if there is anything worth publishing, may consider less-selective conferences if novelty is less
