    14:06:52)
  * Dave Wallace  (dwallacelf, 14:07:11)
  * Michal - 19.04 release data is 30-Apr.  (mackonstan, 14:07:40)

* TSC  (mackonstan, 14:08:21)
  * no updates  (mackonstan, 14:08:25)

* Operational status  (mackonstan, 14:09:40)
  * trending jobs failing - caused by API change, Vratko patched, should
    be good now.  (mackonstan, 14:10:31)
  * 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)

* VPP code performance  (mackonstan, 14:13:03)
  * buffer allocation issue with multi-core scale tests - root cause
    identified and configuration fix implemented.  (mackonstan,
    14:15:58)
  * LINK: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/18743/  (mackonstan, 14:16:10)
  * root cause is DPDK restriction to total of 256 memory mappings for
    buffer-to-hugepage  (mackonstan, 14:20:26)
  * solution is to set buffers-per-numa to the maximum value supported
    by DPDK, now known.  (mackonstan, 14:21:34)
  * 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)
  * another issue is with ipsec tunnel-interfaces  (mackonstan,
    14:22:46)
  * 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)
  * vpp code resolution is still in progress  (mackonstan, 14:23:11)
  * LINK: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/19131/  (mackonstan, 14:23:21)
  * unlikely to target 19.04 rather 19.04.1  (pmikus, 14:23:22)
  * 3rd issue - is with link bonding tests: i) IMIX tests crashing vpp,
    ii) 2-link bond tests not working.  (mackonstan, 14:26:22)

* Release 19.04  (mackonstan, 14:26:50)
  * 19.04 rc2 dry runs - JanG - 4th issue: memif interfaces not up in
    subset of tests - need to investigate.  (mackonstan, 14:28:35)
  * vpp-per-patch - Vratko - merged. Email to follow.  (mackonstan,
    14:30:01)
  * 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)
  * NFV density - Peter - addressing comments, implementation completed,
    need to agree on naming for new tests.  (mackonstan, 14:33:02)

    dry-runs  (mackonstan, 14:34:55)
