    (trevor_intel, 16:07:07)
  * not following UTC  (acn, 16:07:31)
  * ACTION: Sridhar to change meetings to Zoom  (trevor_intel, 16:07:56)

* Dev update  (acn, 16:09:47)
  * CIs not working  (trevor_intel, 16:11:07)
  * ACTION: Trevor follow up with Martin and help to resolve
    (trevor_intel, 16:12:02)
  * See Jira - CI is still not working – details in INFRA-215 and
    INFRA-220  (trevor_intel, 16:12:45)
  * ACTION: All please review 3 patches submitted by Martin
    (trevor_intel, 16:14:21)

    issue  (trevor_intel, 16:15:28)
  * Al has also reviewed one of the patches  (trevor_intel, 16:16:01)
  * Richard Elias has prepared a patch to enhance “--test-params”
    functionality and to compare (optional) results of several tests in
    tabular form. Patch will be send for review in next days.
    (trevor_intel, 16:17:18)
  * 2.    Recap of last week’s discussion - action review  (acn,
    16:17:44)
  * Performance Efficiency - Eddie has started to work on a doc to
    capture ideas and aiming for first draft end of the week
    (trevor_intel, 16:20:20)
  * WI =  Pc x Cn  x Cf where...  (acn, 16:20:27)
  * this will be controversial, but worth pursuing for *some* set of
    users - maybe this is useful outside of VVP  (acn, 16:29:18)

* VSPERF results Plotting  - Yardstick-Grafana. (Jose, you can share
  your queries/inputs/requests).  (trevor_intel, 16:29:48)
  * There was a discussion over email (Jose)  (trevor_intel, 16:30:13)
  * 3.    VSPERF results Plotting  - Yardstick-Grafana. (Jose, you can
    share your queries/inputs/requests).  (acn, 16:30:43)
  * Waiting for Jose to get back with further questions  (trevor_intel,
    16:31:18)

* VSPERF and Cloud-native NFV (Containerized NFV)  (trevor_intel,
  16:31:44)
  * we'll capture coments  (acn, 16:32:48)
  * trevor_intel need to keep evolving/fresh.  Containers are NOW.
    Benchmarking must follow the trends.  (acn, 16:34:30)
  * acm agrees  (acn, 16:35:02)
  * Need assessment of work needed to implement Container-benchmarking
    (what is re-useable in VSPERF?)  (acn, 16:37:46)
  * We need to understand how VSPERF can be used for container / bare
    metal performance  (trevor_intel, 16:38:07)
  * K8s is more flexible in resource allocation than hypervisors/VIM
    (acn, 16:41:49)
  * istio is a core plugin used in K8s, unit of containers, K8s can
    replicate containers in a pod, so can scale-up as necessary
    (microservices)  (acn, 16:43:54)
  * istio connects all the microservice, full mesh communication
    permitted with "sidecars"  (acn, 16:44:55)
  * flannel and weave handle how traffic moves in/out of cluster  (acn,
    16:45:26)
  * K8s doesn't work at L2, all at L3 - web devs don't need to know L2
    (acn, 16:46:21)
  * istio can carve off a portion of traffic to "container #2"  ...
    (acn, 16:47:48)
  * The emphasis for now is web traffic (stateful)  (trevor_intel,
    16:49:37)
  * All based above L3  (trevor_intel, 16:50:20)
  * forwarding, load balancing, based on L4 - L7  (acn, 16:50:21)
  * flannel and weave can deal with L3, NAT'd , iptables for static
    mapping  (acn, 16:51:37)
  * Clover is working on best practices to deliver VNFs in Cloud Native
    (trevor_intel, 16:53:04)
  * clover is a set of Best Practices for delivering VNFs in Cloud
    Native env, using istio, yeager for tracing, prometheus for
    telemetry data  (acn, 16:53:45)
  * VSPERF would be useful to understand flannel and weave's role (CNI
    plug-ins) performance to move traffic to K8s  (acn, 16:56:47)
  * K8s uses Docker containers.  (acn, 16:58:34)
  * flannel and weave do the L3 routing, then istio -   GRPC is the
    stateful protocol for communicating between the micro-services.
    (acn, 17:01:41)
  * ACTION: Sridhar to present Container Networking next week and
    continue discussion  (trevor_intel, 17:02:36)



Meeting ended at 17:04:06 UTC.
