  * IP addresses are needed from the OS deployment, traffic must come
    back to T-rex single instance  (acmacm, 16:13:50)
  * this is mostly for IXIA and Sprient Tgens  (acmacm, 16:14:47)
  * one update is done, vsperf will continue to run in Trafficgen mode.
    (SRao, 16:14:57)

  * demo instantiates an IXIA Master and Slave, then run vsperf
    (acmacm, 16:23:06)
  * there is a new config file, 11_openstack.conf  needs image names,
    other OS info.  (acmacm, 16:24:20)

* Status and Demo of RelReq-9 (K8S Container Networking Benchmarking

  * another new conf   12_k8s.conf , two new files and dpdk  (acmacm,
    16:28:44)
  * Flow: When run with --k8s option, VSPERF will deploy the switch (if
    it is ovsdpdk or vpp), then deploy the Pod, then run the test.
    (SRao, 16:29:13)
  * So, with --k8s and pcp_thput command line option  VSPERF does more
    of the automation, including setting-up the pods , vswitch,
    (acmacm, 16:34:48)
  * , also needs to add OVS flow entries  (acmacm, 16:35:30)
  * kubctl getpods will show that the pod is running  (acmacm, 16:36:37)
  * Trex is using Binary Search with loss verification.  result seems to
    be +7Gbps  (acmacm, 16:39:04)
  * Parth and emmanuel's cluster-deployment deploys MULTUS, a variable
    determines ovsdpdk, vpp, sriov  (acmacm, 16:41:35)
  * documentation and some other things need small update, but it's
    working now, using pcp_thput  config  (acmacm, 16:42:53)
  * all the patches are -1 at the moment  (acmacm, 16:44:25)
