    2. L1 KW refactoring VAT to PAPI - Jan: finished IPUtil, going back to IPsec, then next SRv6 libraries. (mackonstan, 14:25:46)
    3. Jan: issues with PAPI for scale tests - lots of entries in PAPI history, quick fix is to print just first two lines and last two lines for all scale tests (for MAC, IPv4, IPv6); (mackonstan, 14:30:12)
    4. Jan: separate issue is the actual logging of cmds - several times - need fix. Proposal over email. (mackonstan, 14:34:22)
    5. Vratko: PAPI over remote socket improves PAPI performance, but still not fast enough due to synchronous operation 1k commands/sec (mackonstan, 14:36:02)
    6. Vratko: solution is asynchronous operation, this needs some thinking (mackonstan, 14:36:33)
    7. Vratko: PAPI over remote socket - conflict with msg indeces; doesn't happen w/o remote socket (mackonstan, 14:39:21)

    2. Peter: some tests working, some more cleanup required (mackonstan, 14:40:45)

  11. VPP-API "Flag Day" - CSIT-VPP gate-keeping (mackonstan, 14:41:19)
    1. Dave: Vratko is refactoring original implementation to adapt to remote socket (mackonstan, 14:42:08)
    2. Alignment of DEV/PERF was split to 3 phases. 1) Teardown -done, 2) Setup phase -done, 3) Configuration -in progress. 3rd part should be final for the ready-to-go solution (pmikus, 14:42:37)
    3. Discussion: how to integrate this into vpp-csit- jobs - new job to be run first and stop other jobs, similar to checkstyle jobs (mackonstan, 14:49:23)
