14:05:26 <ebrjohn> #topic Integrating fd.io with SFC
14:06:27 <ebrjohn> #info Frank Brockners is explaining fd.io
14:07:22 <ebrjohn> #info FD.io means Fast Data IO
14:07:39 <ebrjohn> #info VPP Vector Packet Processing, the software switch
14:08:02 <ebrjohn> #info Honeycomb, Stripped down version of ODL used as fd.io control plane
14:08:57 <ebrjohn> #info VPP is more like a class-A switch router, which is quite different than OVS
14:09:51 <ebrjohn> #info VPP allows for operational functionality to be plugged-in
14:11:50 <ebrjohn> #info VPP runs in user-space
14:12:16 * ebrjohn Im not going to try to type in Frank's comparison of VPP to plates of cabbage and potatoes ;)
14:13:57 <ebrjohn> #info VPP is very customizable, eg you can add your own VXLAN processing without completely changing the core infrastructure
14:19:34 <ebrjohn> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/fds more info on Fast Data Stacks
14:24:04 <ebrjohn> #info fd.io release cadence is typically every 3 months
14:24:20 <ebrjohn> #info next fd.io release is 17.01
14:24:59 <ebrjohn> #info 16.09 was the last fd.io release
14:31:46 * ebrjohn YAS yet another scenario ;)
14:33:11 <ebrjohn> #info Frank suggests starting off creating a new scenario for SFC/FD.io integration, then later considering depracating a more basic scenario
14:35:36 <ebrjohn> #info trozet says its probably too dificult to switch a running system from OVS to FD.io
14:37:35 <ebrjohn> #info trozet Apex already has 2 VPP scenarios: one with ODL L2 and the other is no-sdn
14:39:28 <ebrjohn> #info FD.io is already using FuncTest, so it shouldnt be too difficult to add SFC FD.io test cases
14:44:14 <ebrjohn> #info VPP leverages DPDK, but its not completely necessary.
14:44:55 <ebrjohn> #info This integration should include DPDK
14:49:05 <ebrjohn> #info there will unlikely be point releases between fd.io 16.09 and 17.01
14:49:57 <ebrjohn> #info Fast Data Stacks will be using fd.io master until 17.01, these will be verified versions of master

14:52:42 <ebrjohn> #info We cant use ODL carbon, since it hits code freeze when Danube releases, so we'll need to use Carbon SR releases
