    1. Vratko, some things in works, but not focusing on it right now (mackonstan, 15:10:25)
    2. Tibor, Address perf test jobs with excessive execution time - weekly ndrpdr, just emailed the latest analysis, 2n-skx/clx/icx; icx the slowest, under investigation as to what the RCA is. (mackonstan, 15:12:32)

  7. VPP RC1, RC2 hot patch(es) items (mackonstan, 15:13:18)
    1. MTU, Vratko, several issues: i) CSIT setting high value (9200B) in hw_interface_set_mtu call, resulting in config error; ii) CSIT setting values in hw_interface_set_mtu for VPP interfaces that don't support hw mtu. Reason behind approach i) was that in the past DPDK was performing worse when setting MTU < 9200B. (mackonstan, 15:17:34)
    2. re MTU, Vratko, Maciek, agreed to remove hw_interface_set_mtu call from the csit tests, and instead rely on VPP default settings and behaviour. (mackonstan, 15:26:16)
    3. Maciek, note that "MTU" in above comments in fact means "Maximum Frame Size" as specified in IEEE 802.3-2008 (mackonstan, 15:37:21)
    4. Maciek, Vratko, need to add a new agenda item, tracking "Maximum Frame Size" handling by drivers, VPP (and CSIT if needed) (mackonstan, 15:44:55)
    5. Peter, note that after DPDK bump and related VPP changes 2n-dnv and 3n-dnv are broken due to 1GE auto-negotiating on 10GE niantic . Fan is happy to help. (mackonstan, 15:48:16)
    6. Peter, is niantic supported in dpdk, Fan to follow up. (mackonstan, 15:50:28)
