Testbed - IXIA supportSridhar/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 inputFederica

python scripting with K8s is possible for some students in 3rd year. Projects must have resume value, add skill set or new experience.

LFN Intern/Mentoring proposalSridhar/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 monthSridharBring closure to Daniele's work and see if there is anything worth publishing, may consider less-selective conferences if novelty is less
