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

* Development Update  (srao, 15:00:58)
  * Team agree to share jupyter notebook with VSPERF distribution.
    (srao, 15:02:22)
  * tools/notebooks folder.  (srao, 15:02:43)

* Intern Introduction.  (srao, 15:03:55)

  * Shailesh will start with Containerization of VSPERF.  (srao,
    15:04:52)
  * VSPERF has initial PoC, Shailesh will explore the alternate approach
    first.  (srao, 15:05:18)
  * Is containerizing VSPERF itself Feasible? Can we install ovs-dpdk
    and vpp & Spawn VM using qemu commands from the container.  (srao,
    15:07:08)
  * ACTION: Create these queries and try to get responses from the
    community.  (srao, 15:07:50)

* Version upgrades of upstream software in VSPERF  (srao, 15:13:56)
  * Currently dpdk 17 is used in VSPERF.  (srao, 15:14:24)
  * Trevor: Get latest Version support from OVS and VPP then choose the
    lowest.  (srao, 15:16:52)
  * Al Morton  (acm, 15:17:53)
  * VPP Ed Warnicke <hagbard@gmail.com>  (acm, 15:18:04)
  * For VNF - vsperf copies the forwarding code and dpdk to vnf and
    builds it.  (srao, 15:22:08)

* VSPERF Going Ahead.  (srao, 15:24:12)
  * Bob: It is not clear going ahead what the strategy is.  (srao,
    15:25:41)

    (srao, 15:28:42)
  * Trevor: Dovetail could be potential target.  (srao, 15:31:41)
  * Trevor: comparison of container-networking technologies.  (srao,
    15:32:00)
  * Trevor: VSPERF should highlight the usecase that will be more
    relevant going ahead.  (srao, 15:33:14)
  * Trevor: Analytics interesting, but may not attract real interest
    from industry.  (srao, 15:36:50)
  * VSPERF'S Plan: Contribution to Standardization,
    Container-Networking, Containerization and Analytics.  (srao,
    15:37:50)

    15:39:47)
  * give and take with the NFVI reference platform projects (in general,
    GSMA, Carrier Task Force, New OPNFV Project, Dovetail)  (acm,
    15:42:07)
  * need to understand the new platform performance specifications AND
    fill any Gaps with VSPERF features  (acm, 15:44:04)
  * New fast path through Kernel AFXDP? Need to agree on interfaces for
    the acceleration functions - like IPsec  (acm, 15:45:35)
  * AF_Packet and AF_XDP  (acm, 15:46:25)
  * ACTION: new wiki page, directions for VSPERF in next phase,
    development, coordination, and Standards projects.  (acm, 15:50:23)
