Minutes

DPDK 19.11

• Previously the implementation of DPDK  in TF was a fork.  The community agreed to migrate to the upstream release of DPDK.
• Kiran KN would like to have additional time to migrate some patches to the upstream before switching to the upstream DPDK build
  • Prabhjot Singh Sethi pointed out that the Contrail-DPDK was intentionally not part of the repo migration. 
  • Prabhjot Singh Sethi and Kiran KN will work together on the mailing list to develop a migration plan.

Blueprints Discussion

• sangarshan pillareddy talked about the  Data Plane Mac/IP Learning Mode for vRouter
  
  • Can we get an architecture diagram?
  • How do we handle race conditions between calico and TF?
    • Traffic is going over different interfaces from within the VM.
• Casey Cain talked about migrated blueprint specification documentation to the wiki under the R21.05 Release Overview
• Alexandre Levine talked briefly about a few of the blueprint specifications that he is working on.
  • Working to add some support with RHEL.  Will start a mailing list thread to continue the conversation.  Casey will add potential Red Had interested parties to the list to increase engagement.
• Mahesh Sivakumar talked about provisioning a knob for service chains.
  • Needs additional support. 
• Prabhjot Singh Sethi pointed out to Stephen that there is a case, where feature introduced by Juniper is exposed only in Contrail Command (which is proprietary software). If Juniper won't add support in WebUI then the feature would be useless from TF users. Stephen Moore asked if anyone from the community can provide WebUI support. The answer was that there might be a lot of such cases and no one has so many frontend developers to cover them for Juniper.
