  * Shasha Guo  (bh526r, 13:02:42)
  * Jing Lu  (bh526r, 13:02:47)
  * Pierre Lynch  (bh526r, 13:03:00)
  * Sridhar Rao  (bh526r, 13:03:05)
  * Tim Irnich  (bh526r, 13:06:13)
  * Pradeep  (bh526r, 13:06:25)
  * Tomek Osinski (Orange)  (bh526r, 13:06:46)
  * Trevor  (bh526r, 13:07:06)

* Container Network Benchmarking  (bh526r, 13:07:38)
  * Sridhar started with introducing background of how VSPERF tests
    vswitch performance  (bh526r, 13:08:36)
  * Mark Beierl  (bh526r, 13:09:01)
  * David McBride  (bh526r, 13:09:15)
  * Tim asked if it can also support the traffic that OPNFV generates?
    (bh526r, 13:10:22)
  * Trevor Cooper  (bh526r, 13:11:48)
  * 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?  (bh526r,
    13:12:54)
  * Al Morton said Yes, it supports.  (bh526r, 13:13:15)
  * Then Sridhar explained container networking  (bh526r, 13:15:04)
  * between CNM and CNI, we will stick to CNI, and CNI very likely will
    become de facto standard  (bh526r, 13:15:54)
  * we can start with Multus+v-host  (bh526r, 13:16:39)
  * Sridhar shared an architecture of container networking setup
    (bh526r, 13:16:57)
  * and how VSPERF, vswitch, traffic generator etc components are in the
    architecture  (bh526r, 13:17:57)
  * Bob Monkman  (bh526r, 13:18:16)
  * Xin  (bh526r, 13:18:38)
  * Trevor Cooper  (trevor_intel, 13:20:36)
  * Fu Qiao  (bh526r, 13:24:30)
  * Juha Oravainen  (bh526r, 13:24:49)
  * 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  (bh526r, 13:30:32)
  * Tim will follow up with respective teams and persons, e.g. VSPERF,
    NFV Benchmarking, and other performance testing and benchmarking
    teams  (bh526r, 13:33:27)

* New Project Proposal - Rocket  (bh526r, 13:37:47)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/PROJ/Rocket  (bh526r, 13:37:56)
  * Wang Xu introduced Rocket about hardware acceleration, which was
    firstly introduced in PlugFest  (bh526r, 13:38:37)
  * Rocket proposal includes (1) Requirement analysis of VNF
    acceleration; and (2)Accelerator common API design  (bh526r,
    13:45:02)
  * Discussions were about hardware acceleration v.s. software
    acceleration  (bh526r, 13:59:01)
  * Wang Xu will send presentation slides to mailing list  (bh526r,
    14:02:03)
  * We will continue discussion on mailing list, and also next week
    (bh526r, 14:02:20)

* AOB  (bh526r, 14:02:28)
  * Next week's agenda include continuing discussion of Rockect project
    proposal (Wang Xu) and Container Networking Benchmarking (Sridhar
    Rao)  (bh526r, 14:03:23)
  * Meeting adjourned  (bh526r, 14:03:33)



Meeting ended at 14:03:36 UTC.
