    (mackonstan, 14:16:19)
  * HC update - Michal - CSIT test updates in progress following ODL
    upgrade, some VIRL tests are failing due to low memory (side effect
    of using PAPI?)  (mackonstan, 14:20:46)
  * Peter - noticed VPP using more memory than before.. would require
    memory profiling  (mackonstan, 14:22:16)
  * HC on vpp_device - Peter - 20/200 tests failing, so not looking for
    19.04, but should be okay to fix those for next release.

  * trending failures: ipsec tunnel-interface scale tests failing due to
    mbuf shortage. same for 8t4c + vhost/memif also failing due to mbuf
    shortage. likely related to new buffer structure work done within
    19.04 cycle.  (mackonstan, 14:35:27)

    19.04 report  (mackonstan, 14:43:49)

    used by VAT today  (mackonstan, 14:55:53)
