14:10:44 <bh526r> #info Changming introduced this proposal
14:15:19 <bh526r> @dneary, could you also document your question and the answer on IRC if possible?
14:15:19 <collabot> bh526r: Error: "dneary," is not a valid command.
14:15:32 <dneary> bh526r, Sure
14:15:53 <bh526r> Thank you
14:16:45 <dneary> #info dneary asked whether the VCO v2 demo work was part of the first work item (integration, deployment, and testing of RAN-VNF). Changming confirmed that this was the plan.
14:17:12 <dneary> #info There will be another meeting later today to discuss how VCO v2 group and CRAN project will work together
14:20:25 <bh526r> #info Tapio wanted to join as a contributor of this project on behalf of Nokia
14:29:56 <dneary> #info Dave asks if alternative approaches could be in scope, or whether the architecture decisions in the proposal are definitive - for example, if the VCO v2 demo has to use another approach, is that OK?
14:33:00 <dneary> bh526r, I have to drop for a board meeting
14:42:27 <bh526r> #info Tapio asked hardware acceleration
14:42:57 <bh526r> #info such as in your lab, do you plan to open certain hardware?
14:43:29 <bh526r> #info Changming said only DPDK thing now in lab. In the future, they will try to do this work
14:44:24 <bh526r> #info Bin asked because the major effort is VNFs (vMME, MEC etc.), what is the difference from SampleVNF and FuncTest projects etc?
14:45:34 <bh526r> #info Changming said he would synchronize with FuncTest and Yardstick. The focus is to enhance VNFs with additional specifications, as well as enhancement of platform, such as OS patches, hypervisor enhancement (eg KVM) etc.
14:46:30 <bh526r> #info Bin suggested to add those clarifications such as difference from SampleVNF, FuncTest, Yardstick, KVM4NFV etc in wiki. Right now, the Dependencies section shows None.
14:47:13 <bh526r> #info Tapio asked what is the difference from CORD?
14:49:08 <bh526r> #info China Mobile will announce something of new C-RAN next year. Based on new announcement, we will give difference from CORD, and set up collaboration with each other in Q2 next year
14:50:13 <bh526r> #info Brian asked what is the meeting after this meeting?
14:55:11 <bh526r> #info Changming said it would be one hour later
14:56:56 <bh526r> #info It is suggested that Changming communicate and collaborate with CORD project more closely
14:59:07 <bh526r> #info Changming will share the demo meeting information with Brian offline
14:59:15 <bh526r> #topic AOB
15:00:04 <bh526r> #info Bin mentioned we don't know if we have topics for meetings in next 2 weeks. If we do, we will talk to each other next week. Otherwise, wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
15:00:30 <bh526r> #info Bin will send either meeting notice or cancellation notice depending on topics
