DPDK topic:

  • Basic performance test from Intel showed parity in the performance of contrail-dpdk -vs- DPDK 18.05 with the vRouter
  • Juniper will have internal discussions if they are going to go with upstream DPDK or keep contrail-dpdk
  • CI: We need CI to test DPDK and then we can get more confidence moving with upstream DPDK or not.
    • Decision: TF Tech Workgroup votes that we need to move to upstream DPDK 
    • No DPDK based deployments in TF CI today
    • Need DPDK based containers with both contrail-dpdk and upstream dpdk - Substantial effort is need
    • In order to run CI the following needs to be done:
      • Have DPDK containers
      • Need extra infrastructure
      • Define a set of test (can be a subset to kernel based deployments)
    • AL: 
      • Background: there are two stages to the current CI
      • The testing being done in the second stage is still tied with the Juniper infrastructure and Zuul
    • JG: Can we try manually adding a build process using the upstream DPDK on separate infrastructure?
