  * LFN Casey - asking for FD.io CSIT lab inventory, Maciek took AI to
    open vexxhost ticket enquiring if Vexxhost has inventory record with
    S/Ns  (mackonstan, 14:12:05)

* New or refactored tests - Scale tests API optimization  (mackonstan,
  14:12:41)
  * Vratko - got job execution time data for 2n-clx, it's >12hrs,
    working out which high-scale test to remove to fit the time budget
    (mackonstan, 14:14:17)

* move to Ubuntu 22.04  (mackonstan, 14:15:03)
  * Peter, vpp_device so far staying on Ubuntu 20.04  (mackonstan,
    14:15:36)
  * Peter, 3n-snr - trying to get it working with TRex + CVL, packet
    loss got solved with TRex upgrade v3.00  (mackonstan, 14:17:28)
  * Peter, 3n-snr - unfortunately 25GbE interface are randomly going
    down, reached out to Vexxhost on-site support to re-seat cables.
    Didn't help.  (mackonstan, 14:18:50)
  * Peter, to make progress need more direct Intel assistance. work with
    Maciek on this  (mackonstan, 14:20:24)

* Next Release CSIT-2210  (mackonstan, 14:21:00)
  * Peter, re TRex version upgrade to address CVL (partial)
    compatibility and 3n-snr, not enough data to make a call if TRex
    v3.00 is good enough  (mackonstan, 14:25:12)
  * Vratko, question is if we have enough time to move to TRex v3.00,
    and if things go bad and south, revert  (mackonstan, 14:25:45)
  * Maciek, agree with that  (mackonstan, 14:25:50)
  * Tibor, we should have enough time to do it, including the worst case
    scenario of reverting TRex sw version  (mackonstan, 14:26:35)
  * Peter, upgrading TRex - following steps: i) automated upgrade of
    TRex - quick; ii) manual firmware upgrades (not automated for
    various reasons) - takes time; iii) can do 2n-clx, run rc2/trending
    tests, then evaluate quickly; iv) proceed with other testbed types
    in parallel to step (iii)  (mackonstan, 14:35:27)
  * Maciek, agreed above between Tibor, Peter, Vratko and Maciek
    (mackonstan, 14:36:07)

    14:37:58)
  * LINK: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/37199  (jlinkes, 14:39:04)
  * Maciek, this patch is on a critical path for Arm tests to ship in
    csit-2210  (mackonstan, 14:39:18)
  * Tibor, Maciek - we have 2 weeks for all rc2 testing issues per above
    (mackonstan, 14:40:25)

  * Vratko, re VPP API changes' tracking - check info is available in
    api crc check job, but need to start making use of it, specifically
    provide a feedback loop to vpp-dev (there should be no in-progress
