    7. Post-VIRL: Idea is to having dedicated hosts. Number of physical hosts to be adjusted over time (pmikus, 13:12:05)
    8. Forward: Using Docker containerized platform - orchestrated (K8S, Swarm?), to enable conrurent executions of CSIT having multiple VPP instances running on hosts (pmikus, 13:14:25)
    9. Leveraging NIC VFs (SRIOV) to be able to test NICs by multiple CSIT runs (VPP instances), AVF - Fortville NICS (pmikus, 13:15:42)
    10. Mellanox driver issue due to external dependencies during DPDK compilation (pmikus, 13:18:47)
