    5. The old issue with Nexus intermittent download failures is expected to still be open. (mackonstan, 14:31:56)

    7. API test coverage - Vratko: the delta is captured in /resources/api/vpp/supported_crcs.yaml (mackonstan, 14:41:08)

  8. VPP code performance (mackonstan, 14:44:45)
    1. trending pages - last uploaded data is from 15-Oct. (mackonstan, 14:46:44)
    2. the daily test data is stored in robot files, so on recovery of Nexus uploads the pages should update and remove the blind period. (mackonstan, 14:48:10)
    3. Tibor: updating the daily trending jobs and html pages to align with report select tests as captured in /docs/job_specs (mackonstan, 14:50:05)

  9. Developments - Framework (mackonstan, 14:50:19)
    1. Vratko: working on perf bisecting (regression/progression) - some tests have lower stdev vs. others. (mackonstan, 14:51:07)
    2. Vratko: re bisecting script - taishan tests keep failing - i) socket papi causing vpp crash, ii) compilation not working for older builds. (mackonstan, 14:54:49)

  10. Developments - Test environments (mackonstan, 14:55:48)
    1. Peter: MLX5 onboarding - updating CSIT driver infra, should be ready for suite generator by eow. TRex works, but need to analyse perf numbers. (mackonstan, 14:57:51)

  11. Developments - tests (mackonstan, 14:58:27)
    1. Nidhy: noticed that TRex max rate on FVL NICs is limited to ~27 Mpps (mackonstan, 15:20:53)
    2. Maciek: this is correct, it's due to FVL firmware bug per CSIT-1908 release notes. (mackonstan, 15:21:15)
