  11. VPP code performance (mackonstan, 14:29:16)
    1. Performance trending - Vratko: reduced daily trending to x710 NICs only, now daily jobs take <6hrs each (mackonstan, 14:30:14)
    2. Vratko: next step is to add remaining NICs for base tests only, no features, see how much time (mackonstan, 14:31:25)

    6. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/20077/ (mackonstan, 14:46:06)
    7. Dave: wiki content outdated, we should refresh, especially a quick start guide (mackonstan, 14:47:05)
    8. Peter: suggest we stick to keeping uptodate content in repo, and point from wiki (mackonstan, 14:47:24)
    9. Peter: place it in readme, e.g. the one in the main csit directory (mackonstan, 14:48:00)
    10. https://github.com/FDio/csit (mackonstan, 14:48:08)

  14. Framework - VAT to PAPI migration (mackonstan, 14:49:26)
    1. Tibor: things are going okay so far, lots of patches getting merged (mackonstan, 14:49:42)
    2. Tibor: one issue - "show run" PAPI reporting different data compared to VAT/CLI (mackonstan, 14:50:25)
    3. Vratko: two issues affecting performance: i) delay between disconnect and connect - fixed with remote socket, ii) need to support async calls so that multiple api calls can proceed in parallel (mackonstan, 14:52:34)
    4. Vratko: PAPI over remote socket - looking good, one issue blocking merge - when vpp restarts new socket init works, but it doesn't work between suites (mackonstan, 14:54:10)

  15. Framework - L1KWs alignment -func/-dev and -perf (mackonstan, 14:55:04)
    1. Peter: need to align two files so that going forward any -perf test suite can be easily ported to -dev (mackonstan, 14:55:54)
    2. https://git.fd.io/csit/tree/resources/libraries/robot/shared/testing_path.robot (mackonstan, 14:57:20)
    3. https://git.fd.io/csit/tree/resources/libraries/robot/performance/performance_setup.robot (mackonstan, 14:57:33)

  16. Framework - VPP-API "Flag Day" gate-keeping (mackonstan, 14:57:56)
    1. Dave: adjusting to per api msg checks (mackonstan, 14:58:19)
    2. Vratko: working on updated code, should know in next few days if the approach works :) (mackonstan, 15:00:41)
