  4. HoneyComb (mackonstan, 14:05:32)
    1. Michal - RC1 last week, jvpp, hc, hc2vpp - all stable branches cut, but issues with Jenkins, some artefacts not uploaded (mackonstan, 14:06:52)
    2. Dave Wallace (dwallacelf, 14:07:11)
    3. Michal - 19.04 release data is 30-Apr. (mackonstan, 14:07:40)

  5. TSC (mackonstan, 14:08:21)
    1. no updates (mackonstan, 14:08:25)

  6. Operational status (mackonstan, 14:09:40)
    1. trending jobs failing - caused by API change, Vratko patched, should be good now. (mackonstan, 14:10:31)
    2. Centos CI testing status - Tom Herbert - starting on it today, hoping to have it done today, requires fix in vpp spec files in vpp repo, followed by vpp_device updated for Centos (mackonstan, 14:12:20)

  7. VPP code performance (mackonstan, 14:13:03)
    1. buffer allocation issue with multi-core scale tests - root cause identified and configuration fix implemented. (mackonstan, 14:15:58)
    2. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/18743/ (mackonstan, 14:16:10)
    3. root cause is DPDK restriction to total of 256 memory mappings for buffer-to-hugepage (mackonstan, 14:20:26)
    4. solution is to set buffers-per-numa to the maximum value supported by DPDK, now known. (mackonstan, 14:21:34)
    5. IPsec "interface mode" tests are failing due to changes in code and moving logic into external plugin, this was fixed on CSIT side, but unfortunatelly AES-GBC is still not working (pmikus, 14:22:11)
    6. another issue is with ipsec tunnel-interfaces (mackonstan, 14:22:46)
    7. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/19131/ is fix from Neale to try to fix AES-GBC but still not working on 100% (pmikus, 14:23:00)
    8. vpp code resolution is still in progress (mackonstan, 14:23:11)
    9. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/19131/ (mackonstan, 14:23:21)
    10. unlikely to target 19.04 rather 19.04.1 (pmikus, 14:23:22)
    11. 3rd issue - is with link bonding tests: i) IMIX tests crashing vpp, ii) 2-link bond tests not working. (mackonstan, 14:26:22)

  8. Release 19.04 (mackonstan, 14:26:50)
    1. 19.04 rc2 dry runs - JanG - 4th issue: memif interfaces not up in subset of tests - need to investigate. (mackonstan, 14:28:35)
    2. vpp-per-patch - Vratko - merged. Email to follow. (mackonstan, 14:30:01)
    3. PLRsearch soak tests - Vratko - results stable, but setup sometimes fails, t/shooting in progress. 2hrs run set as default. Need to select few suites for inclusion into report, comparing results vs. NDRPDR. (mackonstan, 14:32:16)
    4. NFV density - Peter - addressing comments, implementation completed, need to agree on naming for new tests. (mackonstan, 14:33:02)
    5. 1904 report - Tibor - draft is out, includes test data from rc2 dry-runs (mackonstan, 14:34:55)
    6. https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/packet_throughput_graphs/l2-3n-hsw-x520.html#b-1t1c-base-and-scale (mackonstan, 14:35:04)
    7. see Tibor's email re report TODOs (mackonstan, 14:38:45)

  9. Developments (mackonstan, 14:40:22)
  10. automate VPP-API "Flag Day" (mackonstan, 14:41:28)

    2. Vratko - also updated bootstrap script (mackonstan, 14:46:47)
    3. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/19027/ (mackonstan, 14:46:50)
