13:06:25 <bh526r> #info Pradeep
13:06:46 <bh526r> #info Tomek Osinski (Orange)
13:07:06 <bh526r> #info Trevor
13:07:38 <bh526r> #topic Container Network Benchmarking
13:08:36 <bh526r> #info Sridhar started with introducing background of how VSPERF tests vswitch performance
13:09:01 <bh526r> #info Mark Beierl
13:09:15 <bh526r> #info David McBride
13:10:22 <bh526r> #info Tim asked if it can also support the traffic that OPNFV generates?
13:11:48 <bh526r> #info Trevor Cooper
13:12:54 <bh526r> #info Tim explained that if we use Apex to install OPNFV, and start 2 VMs, can we use VSPERF to test the traffic between those 2 VMs?
13:13:15 <bh526r> #info Al Morton said Yes, it supports.
13:15:04 <bh526r> #info Then Sridhar explained container networking
13:15:54 <bh526r> #info between CNM and CNI, we will stick to CNI, and CNI very likely will become de facto standard
13:16:39 <bh526r> #info we can start with Multus+v-host
13:16:57 <bh526r> #info Sridhar shared an architecture of container networking setup
13:17:57 <bh526r> #info and how VSPERF, vswitch, traffic generator etc components are in the architecture
13:18:16 <bh526r> #info Bob Monkman
13:18:38 <bh526r> #info Xin
13:20:36 <trevor_intel> #info Trevor Cooper
13:24:30 <bh526r> #info Fu Qiao
13:24:49 <bh526r> #info Juha Oravainen
13:30:32 <bh526r> #info Tim thinks that great value of VSPERF is the framework of doing performance benchmarking with different tools, so that different performance benchmarking can be comparable
13:33:27 <bh526r> #info Tim will follow up with respective teams and persons, e.g. VSPERF, NFV Benchmarking, and other performance testing and benchmarking teams
13:37:47 <bh526r> #topic New Project Proposal - Rocket
13:37:56 <bh526r> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/PROJ/Rocket
13:38:37 <bh526r> #info Wang Xu introduced Rocket about hardware acceleration, which was firstly introduced in PlugFest
13:45:02 <bh526r> #info Rocket proposal includes (1) Requirement analysis of VNF acceleration; and (2)Accelerator common API design
13:59:01 <bh526r> #info Discussions were about hardware acceleration v.s. software acceleration
14:02:03 <bh526r> #info Wang Xu will send presentation slides to mailing list
14:02:20 <bh526r> #info We will continue discussion on mailing list, and also next week
14:02:28 <bh526r> #topic AOB
14:03:23 <bh526r> #info Next week's agenda include continuing discussion of Rockect project proposal (Wang Xu) and Container Networking Benchmarking (Sridhar Rao)
