14:04:18 <jlinkes> #info Juraj Linkeš
14:04:34 <mackonstan> #info Govind, pls add discussion of new ipsec test cases
14:05:05 <mackonstan> #topic Inputs from projects - VPP
14:05:16 <mackonstan> #info Andrew, 3 weeks to rc1
14:05:25 <mackonstan> #topic Inputs from projects - VSAP
14:08:37 <mackonstan> #info Dave, continue to iterate on the patch, focus on VPP testing, not on NGINX version
14:11:26 <vrpolak> #info Vratko Polak.
14:14:27 <mackonstan> #info Dave, vpp hoststack would like to have benchmarks presented in the report, and in trending, details to be ironed out over email
14:14:40 <mackonstan> #topic Inputs from projects - TSC
14:16:39 <vrpolak> The technical question of VSAP/hoststack coverage for report (and trending) can be decided in Gerrit (change editing job specs). The organizational question is who should be the contributor.

14:17:06 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, Vratko, Ray has started to drive converstaion about the process for vendor donating the equipment into FD.io labs, took action to starting writing the draft.

14:19:25 <mackonstan> #info Govind, working on IPsec SPD vpp code optimization, would like to add tests to this regard
14:21:38 <mackonstan> #info Govind, focus on SPD policy match engine benchmarking, not crypto
14:23:46 <mackonstan> #info Maciek, sounds good
14:24:19 <mackonstan> #info Vratko, working on updates to suite generator to support ipsec scale test suite generator; but the SPD tests are orthogonal to that
14:27:49 <mackonstan> #info Juraj, looks at 4 different values for SPD rules times resulting in 4 test suites
14:28:38 <mackonstan> #topic Physical Infrastructure
14:29:26 <mackonstan> #topic Physical Infrastructure  - DC move
14:29:53 <mackonstan> #info Peter, progressing well, right now at stage 5, 4 x 2n-skx perf testbeds
14:31:51 <mackonstan> #info Peter, about 2 racks remaining after stage 5, see Peter's patch for details
14:32:04 <mackonstan> #topic Releases - CSIT-2106 take 2

14:36:37 <mackonstan> #info Fan, will confirm with authors if the patches are focusing on functional tests for flow offload executing on vpp_device testbeds (suited for functional testing) or on performance testbeds (not suited for functional testing)
14:37:10 <mackonstan> #topic Virtual Infrastructure, CI/CD
14:39:28 <mackonstan> #info Dave, 2 sporadic network issues continue to impact vpp and csit jobs i) gerrit fetch errors and ii) tcp connection resets.
14:39:46 <mackonstan> #info Dave, added some band aid in a shape of rechecks
14:51:26 <mackonstan> #info Dave, Andrew, Peter, Maciek, firm up request for logical topology representing failing sessions/flows path; ask for 15min daily progress live syncs with reps from CSIT/FD.io, Vexxhost, LF-IT.
14:58:21 <mackonstan> #topic Moving away from Nexus.
14:58:31 <mackonstan> #info Dave, docs moving to readthedocs.io
14:58:44 <mackonstan> #info Tibor, needs to read up on what this means for CSIT reports
14:58:54 <mackonstan> #topic Performance Tests
15:01:39 <mackonstan> #info Vratko, few tests still broken in daily trending: nat44ed multi-worker, geneve. Also sporadic failures for other tests, possibly fixed in VPP with https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/32200
15:01:59 <mackonstan> #topic Functional Tests
15:03:11 <mackonstan> #info Juraj, re IPS case: Faulty VF initialization during DPDK startup, new instructions received from Intel dpdk devs, advising on an updated versions for involved SW stack DPDK, FVL driver, FVL firmware
15:04:19 <mackonstan> #info Juraj will coordinate with Peter re doing the work on x86 that is preferred by Intel dpdk dev vs doing it on Arm, guess due to test env consistency
