  Agenda email  (ebrjohn, 14:01:12)
* Jose Lausuch  (jose_lausuch, 14:02:36)
* Integrating fd.io with SFC  (ebrjohn, 14:05:26)
  * Frank Brockners is explaining fd.io  (ebrjohn, 14:06:27)
  * FD.io means Fast Data IO  (ebrjohn, 14:07:22)
  * VPP Vector Packet Processing, the software switch  (ebrjohn,
    14:07:39)
  * Honeycomb, Stripped down version of ODL used as fd.io control plane
    (ebrjohn, 14:08:02)
  * VPP is more like a class-A switch router, which is quite different
    than OVS  (ebrjohn, 14:08:57)
  * VPP allows for operational functionality to be plugged-in  (ebrjohn,
    14:09:51)
  * VPP runs in user-space  (ebrjohn, 14:11:50)
  * VPP is very customizable, eg you can add your own VXLAN processing
    without completely changing the core infrastructure  (ebrjohn,
    14:13:57)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/fds more info on Fast Data
    Stacks  (ebrjohn, 14:19:34)
  * fd.io release cadence is typically every 3 months  (ebrjohn,
    14:24:04)
  * next fd.io release is 17.01  (ebrjohn, 14:24:20)
  * 16.09 was the last fd.io release  (ebrjohn, 14:24:59)
  * 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)
  * trozet says its probably too dificult to switch a running system
    from OVS to FD.io  (ebrjohn, 14:35:36)
  * trozet Apex already has 2 VPP scenarios: one with ODL L2 and the
    other is no-sdn  (ebrjohn, 14:37:35)
  * FD.io is already using FuncTest, so it shouldnt be too difficult to
    add SFC FD.io test cases  (ebrjohn, 14:39:28)
  * VPP leverages DPDK, but its not completely necessary.  (ebrjohn,
    14:44:14)
  * This integration should include DPDK  (ebrjohn, 14:44:55)
  * there will unlikely be point releases between fd.io 16.09 and 17.01
    (ebrjohn, 14:49:05)
  * Fast Data Stacks will be using fd.io master until 17.01, these will
    be verified versions of master  (ebrjohn, 14:49:57)

    email from GBP  (ebrjohn, 14:50:32)
  * 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)



Meeting ended at 14:57:13 UTC.
