14:15:43 <pmikus> #info CSIT-2001 Release, 2n-skx, 3n-skx testing status  - Jobs finished, data collected, Tibor processed in PAL to new comparison tables
14:17:30 <pmikus> #info CSIT-1908.x Currently 2n-skx are finished, 3n-skx few jobs finished and rest is blocked due to SSD failures on both 3n-skx, waiting for RMA's (see above).
14:19:26 <pmikus> #info Vratko: 1908.x weekly mrr working, l2patch failing.
14:20:20 <pmikus> #info Currently maintenance releases are released prior testing (unlike stable releases with RCx approach)
14:20:55 <pmikus> #info Plan is to use weekly testing
14:21:09 <pmikus> #info CSIT-2005 Release
15:14:03 <pmikus> #info CSIT-2005 Release - new Virtio VPP native tests, increase coverage of functional tests (ipsec, srv6...), vswtich-less tests
15:15:38 <pmikus> #info VPP-2001.1 release prior RC of stable 2005, Dave asking for capacity. Peter reply that should be possible based on 1908.1 experience and limited amount of tests
15:17:27 <pmikus> #action Finish all work on 1908.1 test lists. Create 2001.1 test list from 1908.1 analogues (in gerrit), add few interesting tests (Load Balancing), review and merge
15:17:38 <pmikus> #topic Operations
15:18:46 <pmikus> #info LFN FD.io CI/CD infra: Jenkins, no outages spotted, one hiccup spotted by Jan when job gets stuck in init phase, closer monitoring not occured anymore yet
15:19:03 <pmikus> #info Jenkins jobs: VPP, CSIT, trending, one failure daily jobs for DNV (did not repeat), vpp-verify-centos one failure with compiling (timestamps issue,  NTP related?).
15:19:11 <pmikus> #info Centos CI - currrently not supported in CSIT
15:19:21 <pmikus> #info CSIT committers - PTL will follow and update the list
15:19:27 <pmikus> #topic VPP code performance
15:20:26 <pmikus> #info VHOST test fixed, AVF init - VPP tickets opened VPP-1858, no progress, IPSEC HW failure - investigation in progress, few sporadic failure (ip4, ip6)
15:21:08 <pmikus> #info Regression on IP6 scale tests, tests are passing but performance is low. Issue related to VAT (PAPI SCALE is not affected). Discussion about support of VAT or merge PAPI SCALE.
15:21:14 <pmikus> #topic Developments
15:23:41 <pmikus> #info Framework: PAPI scale in CSIT - CSIT is deeply interacting with VPP backend (PAPI threads), Vratko wants to keep modyfing running VPP code via CSIT. Peter: Would be good to implement the patch/fix also into VPP to benefit for everyone outside CSIT. Vratko: Benefits are that having CSIT code allows us to do bisecting, on the other side implementing fixes in VPP would mean to support multiple code
15:23:47 <pmikus> versions. Discussion opened.
15:24:26 <pmikus> #info Dave proposed to discuss with Ole and to have all the fixes in VPP as well. Peter: Having temporary solution is fine if it will be followed with proper patch.
15:24:58 <pmikus> #info Vratko sees an action plan to split change into 4 parts including current patch, vpp patch and two other to have permanents fix. No other objections.
15:25:05 <pmikus> #topic TRex
15:26:41 <pmikus> #info Peter working on calibrating the mellanox NIC with T-rex. Peter to follow up findings and consult with T-Rex-dev. Peter to implement DPDK testpmd baseline mellanox tests as a start point
15:26:55 <pmikus> #info Vratko reported that tests  with randomizing flows are misbehaving - fix proposed with not "fixed" seed
