15:51:08 <mackonstan1> #info Fixed in Ubuntu Linux kernel 4.4.0-108.131(4.4.0-109.114)
15:51:26 <mackonstan1> #info Upgraded Cisco mirror trending testbed last Sunday to 4.4.0-109.114 and run trending jobs
15:51:35 <mackonstan1> #info Same/similar Haswell servers as in FD.io - executed daily performance trending jobs to get indicative numbers
15:51:53 <mackonstan1> #info Manual inspectiona and comparison of results from first run does not show any significant performance change
15:52:07 <mackonstan1> #info Some small fluctuations outside of expected stdev observed for vhost and memif tests between the runs, but need more runs to have statistically meaningful data. Note fluctuations are also observed with previous kernel, especially for NDR.
