| Item | Desc | who | Notes/minutes |
| Shivank's Intern update | Need to do install Fedora 36 on Node 4, other upgrades have not worked for eBPF applications. Trex and PROX are running on Node 5 using Node 4 eBPF as loopback Next phase is using k8s pod for loopback and Cillium CNI on Node 4 (this is a 6 month Internship). | ||
| Tasks and Action Plan for Shivank |
| ||
| Intern: ToDos before 6th |
| ||
| Open Programmable Interface Project (Linux OPI) | Sridhar | New project, forming governing board now. 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. Opportunity for Benchmarking work with us. Need to know planned NIC speeds, Need NIC HW to benchmark. | |
| 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 | 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 work | 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 | |
| Blosure to Daniele's work and see if there is anything worth publishing, may consider less-selective conferences if novelty is less | Sridhar | Bring to next meeting - ACTION |
DONE - Progress for Moselle (summary: items 5,6,and 7 lack the necessary automated address discovery feature, defer)
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 | |||
| 6 | Task-VINEPERF-658:Enhance framework for XTesting-K8s Usecase | Partially done (reading results from output), Deployment tool. | 1 task remains | |||
| 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 | |||
| 8 | Task-VINEPERF-653:XTesting-ViNePerf Enhancement - Openstack [OLD] | Done | ||||
| 9 | Epic-VINEPERF-638:Dataplane performance testing for various internal (within cloud) scenarios | Completed - Yet to submit the patches - Done | Danielle will submit patches after Thesis on Friday, Monday 04/25 After review tomorrow, Daniele will submit the patch. Al Morton will need to review (big patch with documentation) - Done | |||
