  * Andrew - vpp v23.10 is a thing, will prepare rls schedule, should be
    ready by next week  (mackonstan, 14:03:53)
  * Andrew - yday vpp-dev call discussions  (mackonstan, 14:04:26)
  * Andrew - no single reference for standard mtu definition incl. jumbo
    mtu, there is 'max frame size' and there is 'mtu'  (mackonstan,
    14:06:02)
  * Andrew - use 'show hardware interface' to see max frame size
    (mackonstan, 14:06:25)
  * Andrew - what about virtual interfaces - it depends if chained
    buffers are supported or not - need to contact maintainers for
    details  (mackonstan, 14:07:13)
  * Andrew - commenting on Vratko's vpp API msgs versioning email on
    vpp-dev, csit-dev - Andrew working with Vratko to update msg status
    (mackonstan, 14:09:04)
  * Vratko - re mtu/mfs - have some more insight into where things are
    in VPP, need to work through code and maintainers to work it all out
    (mackonstan, 14:09:59)
  * Vratko - Damjan confirmed af_xdp will never work with jumbo as it
    doesn't support chained buffer; avf does not work with jumbo today
    due to the way CSIT initializes it  (mackonstan, 14:11:36)
  * Vratko + Maciek - let's work through the latest information, and aim
    to provide a consistent documentation of current behaviour of VPP
    and CSIT, and use that as a reference to work with the community on
    any plan to address mtu/mfs larger then 1500/1518  (mackonstan,
    14:12:49)

* TSC  (mackonstan, 14:13:28)
  * Dave - re new equipment - no update on 4 SPR ETA, waiting for LFN
    finance to approve ICX-Ds, waiting for Vexxhost quote for Ampere
    servers to replace 1n-tx2  (mackonstan, 14:14:29)

* Tests - HW accelerators  (mackonstan, 14:16:30)
  * Peter - reported over email issues with QAT2.0, DSA, GTPU/e810 - see
    email to Kai, Yulong, Dave, Maciek  (mackonstan, 14:17:06)
  * QAT2.0: AT Driver installed and is not working on 3nb-spr, 2n-spr,
    3n-snr; Driver failed to install on 3na-spr which results into
    Ubuntu 22.04 not booting; QAT cannot be initialized within the test.
    (mackonstan, 14:17:57)
  * DSA: DSA driver was installed on all capable servers (via Ansible);
    Changed "intel_iommu=on" to "intel_iommu=on,sm_on" in kernel command
    line (via Ansible); CSIT lab do not have BIOS option “Opt-Out
    Illegal MSI Mitigation=Enabled”. We waited for SuperMicro vendor to
    release BIOS 1.1. Due to release, the upgrade was rescheduled,
    currently no ETA. BIOS is released.  (mackonstan, 14:18:35)
  * GTPU: Failed to enable GTPU; Not clear what needs to be done CSIT
    side; Intel to check what might be the root cause behind VPP call.
    (mackonstan, 14:19:33)
  * Kai - will lead the resolution of all above from the Intel side,
    will connect with usual Intel contacts to have them addressed, will
    report back.  (mackonstan, 14:25:15)
