    13. some issues with porting this to production Jenkins - Ed Kern. (mackonstan, 14:25:51)

    15. VPP_Path - is Open, but the concept of runing VIRL test cases on the new VPP_Device infra has been proven. Expecting to port most (or even all) VIRL tests, note however the first set will include 2-Node tests only. (mackonstan, 14:29:42)
    16. Expecting to port most (or even all) VIRL tests, note however the first set will include 2-Node tests only, in next release i.e. CSIT-1901. (mackonstan, 14:30:23)
    17. Per VPP Patch Performance Checks - Vratko - implemented next set of improvements, but his issue with VPP reinstall. If lucky it should be finished by official rls date (i.e. today +7days). (mackonstan, 14:31:18)
    18. CSIT PAPI Support - Peter on behalf on JanG - most of the work is good and done. Peter and Ole Troan are doing the PAPI keywords review.
