  2. Integrating fd.io with SFC (ebrjohn, 14:05:26)
    1. Frank Brockners is explaining fd.io (ebrjohn, 14:06:27)
    2. FD.io means Fast Data IO (ebrjohn, 14:07:22)
    3. VPP Vector Packet Processing, the software switch (ebrjohn, 14:07:39)
    4. Honeycomb, Stripped down version of ODL used as fd.io control plane (ebrjohn, 14:08:02)
    5. VPP is more like a class-A switch router, which is quite different than OVS (ebrjohn, 14:08:57)
    6. VPP allows for operational functionality to be plugged-in (ebrjohn, 14:09:51)
    7. VPP runs in user-space (ebrjohn, 14:11:50)
    8. VPP is very customizable, eg you can add your own VXLAN processing without completely changing the core infrastructure (ebrjohn, 14:13:57)
    9. https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/fds more info on Fast Data Stacks (ebrjohn, 14:19:34)
    10. fd.io release cadence is typically every 3 months (ebrjohn, 14:24:04)
    11. next fd.io release is 17.01 (ebrjohn, 14:24:20)
    12. 16.09 was the last fd.io release (ebrjohn, 14:24:59)
    13. Frank suggests starting off creating a new scenario for SFC/FD.io integration, then later considering depracating a more basic scenario (ebrjohn, 14:33:11)
    14. trozet says its probably too dificult to switch a running system from OVS to FD.io (ebrjohn, 14:35:36)
    15. trozet Apex already has 2 VPP scenarios: one with ODL L2 and the other is no-sdn (ebrjohn, 14:37:35)
    16. FD.io is already using FuncTest, so it shouldnt be too difficult to add SFC FD.io test cases (ebrjohn, 14:39:28)
    17. VPP leverages DPDK, but its not completely necessary. (ebrjohn, 14:44:14)
    18. This integration should include DPDK (ebrjohn, 14:44:55)
    19. there will unlikely be point releases between fd.io 16.09 and 17.01 (ebrjohn, 14:49:05)
    20. Fast Data Stacks will be using fd.io master until 17.01, these will be verified versions of master (ebrjohn, 14:49:57)
    21. https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/groupbasedpolicy-dev/2016-October/003588.html email from GBP (ebrjohn, 14:50:32)
    22. We cant use ODL carbon, since it hits code freeze when Danube releases, so we'll need to use Boron SR releases (ebrjohn, 14:53:23)
