    ETSI PlugTest  (ebrjohn, 15:03:08)
  * Will be held in Madrid, Spain January 2017  (ebrjohn, 15:03:46)
  * we will deploy at least one server with OPNFV SFC and make it
    available for MANO providers to test with SFC  (ebrjohn, 15:03:54)

* Testing different topologies  (ebrjohn, 15:05:00)

    Yesterday Manuel reported this problem  (ebrjohn, 15:05:19)
  * netvirt only creates classification rules on compute nodes where
    there are SFs.  (ebrjohn, 15:05:31)
  * Classification rules should probably be created on every compute. Or
    at least everywhere there's a VM of any type.  (ebrjohn, 15:06:11)
  * We need to make sure we cover additional possibly problematic
    topologies and/or configurations  (ebrjohn, 15:06:30)
  * Juanma Fernandez  (juanmafg, 15:06:59)
  * LINK: https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/SFC-63  (geopar, 15:07:15)
  * example: Everything on the same compute node: client, SFF, SF,
    server. I believe this is the first case ever tested.  (ebrjohn,
    15:07:23)
  * example: Classifier and SFF on different compute nodes. This is the
    problem reported above by Manuel  (ebrjohn, 15:08:10)
  * example: SFs on different compute nodes  (ebrjohn, 15:08:21)
  * example: 3 SFs on 2 compute nodes, packets have to go from computeA
    to computeB and back to computeA  (ebrjohn, 15:08:31)
  * geopar 2 SFs on the same chain or 2 SFs on different chains
    (ebrjohn, 15:10:49)
  * we already have a test for symmetric service chains  (ebrjohn,
    15:11:46)
  * ACTION: ebrjohn to make sure these scenarios are covered in our test
    plan  (ebrjohn, 15:12:16)

* Stateful character of the tests  (ebrjohn, 15:12:40)
  * apparantly the tests arent completely torn down after being run,
    which could cause problems or hide problems for subsequent tests
    (ebrjohn, 15:12:53)
  * By torn down, I mean: classifiers deleted, all [RSPs, SFPs, SFCs,
    SFFs, SFs] deleted, SF VMs removed  (ebrjohn, 15:13:30)
  * seems like not all flows are deleted when SFC config deleted
    (ebrjohn, 15:15:37)
  * if this is the case, then its an ODL SFC bug that we need to get
    fixed  (ebrjohn, 15:16:04)
  * juanmafg asks if some of the flows are from security groups that
    Manuel manually creates  (ebrjohn, 15:16:23)
  * geopar suggests we can cycle through the different test cases, one
    per day  (ebrjohn, 15:17:56)
  * ebrjohn suggests to use this as a work-around until we get all flows
    deleted in ODL  (ebrjohn, 15:18:48)
  * ACTION: geopar: send a mail to netvirt-dev / sfc-dev about cleanup
    (geopar, 15:19:40)
  * geopar will send an email tomorrow about ODL flow cleanup  (ebrjohn,
    15:20:27)
  * juanmafg asks if we also delete floating IPs  (ebrjohn, 15:23:01)
  * ebrjohn not sure, but thinks it should be checked and also deleted
    (ebrjohn, 15:23:15)

* AOB (Any Other Business)  (ebrjohn, 15:23:25)
  * geopar asks when do we want to move to Tacker upstream  (ebrjohn,
    15:24:02)
  * ebrjohn is not sure when, but it mainly depends on the impacts
    involved, mainly if upstream Tacker is using Networking SFC
    (ebrjohn, 15:25:12)
  * ACTION: ebrjohn to ask Tim Rozet what's involved with switching to
    Tacker upstream  (ebrjohn, 15:27:20)
  * Vijayendra says Fuel already has a plugin for OVS+dpdk+NSH
    (ebrjohn, 15:30:19)
  * Vijayendra suggests using the same test cases for DPDK  (ebrjohn,
    15:31:05)
  * Vijayendra says he would be willing to help contribute to DPDK
    testing  (ebrjohn, 15:32:03)
  * ACTION: ebrjohn to check when the ODL SFC DPDK patch was added and
    if its in Boron  (ebrjohn, 15:32:53)
  * ebrjohn thinks the ODL SFC DPDK patch has already been included in
    Boron SR1  (ebrjohn, 15:35:07)
  * OVS 2.6.1 with NSH from Yi Yang has been tested by Manuel and George
    and it seems to be working  (ebrjohn, 15:37:03)
  * Manuel got the VXLAN tunnel port problem fixed in OVS 2.6.1
    (ebrjohn, 15:37:36)



Meeting ended at 15:38:21 UTC.
