  6. Physical Infrastructure (mackonstan, 15:31:52)

    2. Peter: 1n-skx vpp-device, only one server is in production; the other one is "misbehaving", requires deep-dive investigation, likely issue with VF drivers/driver bugs e.g. see ticket VPP-1995 that's still open preventing us from touching / upgrading drivers (mackonstan, 15:34:56)
