    3. Tibor, draft report ver in master (mackonstan, 14:29:36)
    4. Tibor, intermittent failures: 1) rdma-core on one testbed, switching driver problem; 2) create avf interface, moving thru NIC rxq configurations; 3) nat44ed 16M sessions not be established in allotted time for some tests; 4) deterministic for specific (frame_size, core config): ipsec sw asyn tests, no traffic forwarded; 5) VSAP tests with MLX (mackonstan, 14:33:56)

    1. Dave, VPP v21.01.1 maintenance release artefacts to be produced next week (mackonstan, 14:44:40)

  13. Physical Infrastructure (mackonstan, 14:45:02)
    1. Maciek, lab extension 2021 is going ahead. (mackonstan, 14:51:04)
    2. Maciek, vendor equipment funding agreement - WIP, vendors' reps are gathering every 2 weeks to progress this, I'm coordinating. (mackonstan, 14:52:16)

  14. Virtual Infrastructure, CI/CD (mackonstan, 14:52:28)
    1. Dave, no issues (apart from fdio-yul vpn outage for EU folks) (mackonstan, 14:52:54)
    2. Juraj, new issue in vpp_Device, not all interfaces are seen in vpp after vpp start, symptom similar to previous issue we had, but root cause likely different. Detail in jira "vfio is busy when initializing VPP with multiple VPP instances using different VFs" (mackonstan, 14:55:49)
    3. https://jira.fd.io/browse/VPP-1986 (mackonstan, 14:55:56)
    4. Peter, would like to go about it differently compared to previous issue we had. Don't wait too long for resolution from Intel side, instead of switch to AVF. (mackonstan, 14:57:34)
    5. Fan, would like to see logs from Xeon platform. (mackonstan, 14:57:48)
