Meeting summary
---------------

* Roll Call  (mdgray_, 14:03:08)
  * Mark Gray  (mdgray_, 14:03:12)
  * Tom Herbert  (tfherbert1, 14:03:18)
  * Chunghan Lee  (lch, 14:03:22)
  * Billy O'Mahony  (billyo, 14:04:37)
  * Yardstick Results for OVSNFV with Fuel  (mdgray_, 14:05:19)
  * Fuel Update  (mdgray_, 14:05:24)
  * Apex Update  (mdgray_, 14:05:31)
  * Spec review  (mdgray_, 14:05:51)

* Yardstick Results for OVSNFV with Fuel  (mdgray_, 14:06:02)
  * Billy has tested Fuel with and without OVSNFV plugin against
    yardstick and functest  (mdgray_, 14:08:11)
  * This is for Rel B  (mdgray_, 14:08:20)
  * Functest passes  (mdgray_, 14:08:27)
  * There at least 37 testcases but only 7 were enabled for CI in
    Brahmaputra  (mdgray_, 14:09:52)
  * ACTION: Billy will follow-up with Yardstick team to understand what
    tests will be enabled for Colorado.  (mdgray_, 14:10:43)
  * TC002 ping test shows 4-times lower latency for ovsnfv plugin
    (mdgray_, 14:12:32)
  * TC005 File IO test shows broadly similar results.  (mdgray_,
    14:14:48)
  * TC010 memory latency test shows broadly similar results.  (mdgray_,
    14:15:19)
  * TC011 Packet delay variation test shows eerily similar results.
    (mdgray_, 14:15:56)
  * TC012 Mem r/w show better throughput. Unsure why this would be the
    case?  (mdgray_, 14:19:56)
  * TC014 CPU Speed test shows better result for OVS over OVSNFV.
    (mdgray_, 14:21:17)
  * Many of the tests are run several times and the results don't change
    considerably between test runs.  (mdgray_, 14:24:38)
  * TC037 Pktgen test is showing x10 (2 flows) and x55 (1M flows)
    improvement for OVSNFV  (mdgray_, 14:25:52)
  * This test runs "standard" (i.e. non-dpdk) pktgen in the guest and
    sends traffic VM-VM using standard linux networking interface.
    (mdgray_, 14:29:20)
  * General consensus is that the result look good. Better performance
    for the networking tests. Other tests show drops which may be due to
    differences in Qemu version and configuration.  (mdgray_, 14:35:45)

* Fuel Update  (mdgray_, 14:36:08)
  * We are a little behind with our CI  (mdgray_, 14:36:25)
  * Virtual deployment is work in progress  (mdgray_, 14:37:19)
  * Migration to Intel POD has started today.  (mdgray_, 14:37:30)
  * Fuel plugin feature has been delivered but not tested.  (mdgray_,
    14:38:15)
  * No documentation so far.  (mdgray_, 14:38:29)

* Apex update  (mdgray_, 14:40:15)
  * Request from SFC project for ovsnfv to provide Apex plugin with ovs
    with NSH (interim patch - not merged upstream)  (mdgray_, 14:42:53)
  * RPM will be built by CI and placed in artifacts  (mdgray_, 14:43:13)
  * Will not have DPDK support and labelled clearly (no dpdk and
    experimental)  (mdgray_, 14:43:34)
  * When do we merge master branch to experimental branch?  (mdgray_,
    14:44:37)
  * Suggestion is August 22nd - not sure on this.  (mdgray_, 14:45:03)
  * After dates, bug fixes can be cherry-picked after that point. CI
    will then swap to the stable branch.  (mdgray_, 14:46:09)
  * Fuel plugin will also support NSH patches.  (mdgray_, 14:47:03)
  * Clarification, Apex will install OVS with DPDK aswell (but not with
    NSH)  (mdgray_, 14:48:16)
  * Should work with virtual and bare-metal deployments.  (mdgray_,
    14:48:34)
  * Yardstick should run but no results yet.  (mdgray_, 14:49:10)
  * ACTION: Tom: If results are available for Yardstick, it would be god
    to compare with the Fuel results.  (mdgray_, 14:49:42)
  * Tom asks where are the results stored.  (mdgray_, 14:49:59)
  * Billy clarifies that he achieved his results manually.  (mdgray_,
    14:50:14)
  * Comparable results will give us a good feeling that things are
    running correctly.  (mdgray_, 14:51:34)



Meeting ended at 14:57:37 UTC.
