Minutes

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?
