    1. CSIT-2009 report published on 15-Oct, see announce email from me (mackonstan, 16:05:10)
    2. All but AMD and nat44ed test data are there (mackonstan, 16:06:25)
    3. https://docs.fd.io/csit/rls2009/report/ (mackonstan, 16:06:34)
    4. Ongoing work on: nat44ed cps tunings, gso tests, geneve tests (mackonstan, 16:07:06)
    5. CSIT-2009 RCA update by Vratko, no big enough regressions (< -5%), spent time on some smaller regressions (l2patch, see ticket) (mackonstan, 16:08:02)
    6. Trending update by Vratko, one regression that's not real (introduced by nat44ed tests), side-effect of not trusting TRex when it comes to test time measurement ( <1% change) (mackonstan, 16:08:55)
    7. Vratko, some progressions noticed but not investigated (mackonstan, 16:09:35)

  3. Host Stack (Florin) (DaveBarach, 16:10:52)
    1. various cleanups, to avoid bit-rot (DaveBarach, 16:11:16)
    2. to improve compile time, add {tcp,udp}_packet.h vs. protocol implementation headers (DaveBarach, 16:11:57)
    3. per-worker cut-through sessions. Gives much improved cut-through session setup performance (DaveBarach, 16:12:45)
    4. host stack no longer supports legacy binary API (shared memory) connections. Security measure. (DaveBarach, 16:13:28)
    5. Question: why does dpdk map 128gb of memory? (DaveBarach, 16:14:04)
    6. Damjan talked to Anatoly (dpdk guy) yesterday about that (DaveBarach, 16:14:23)
    7. dpdk maps a huge chunk, then finds an appropriate boundary (DaveBarach, 16:14:57)
    8. host stack can trip over the dpdk etc. (DaveBarach, 16:16:04)
    9. vcl improved handling of out-of-order events. Small cleanups / fixes in addition. (DaveBarach, 16:16:55)

    3. 20.09 one outstanding question: maintenance release 20.09.1 (DaveBarach, 16:20:54)
    4. Any requests for the dot release? Timing? (DaveBarach, 16:21:12)
    5. DaveW suggests that waiting until February would be quite a while since the formal release (DaveBarach, 16:22:08)
    6. 19.08 Job removal in January? (DaveBarach, 16:22:45)
    7. Not planning to do another 19.08 point release. Revisit in December. (DaveBarach, 16:23:10)
    8. Cadence after 21.01: September is tricky due to summer vacation. (DaveBarach, 16:24:36)
    9. Possibly 21.06 and 21.10. (DaveBarach, 16:25:17)
