• Discussion of Netronome's patch. 
  
  • Henry reviewed a diagram that tries to summarizes the proposal by Netronome.  See the google document at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o4FC2uPphAgR2mu8YNWEGWe6Mz4yDYyjgvLqkb5c4eM/edit#slide=id.p8 , and the current snapshot of that document on the Wiki at https://wiki.tungsten.io/download/attachments/1409118/Offload%20Design%20Options%20-%20Oct%2030%202018%20ver.pptx?api=v2
  • There were still questions about the tradeoffs between supporting vendor-specific designs in the short term vs. retaining motivation for working vendor-independent solutions in sister industry groups (e.g., on the Linux TC Module and RTEflow). 
  • Joseph raised questions about testing. 
  • Sukhdev asked for a list of the specific patches.  Can Netronome provide these please?
