23 FEB 2016 ATTENDEES: Daniele, Mark G, Ian, Ciara, Sugesh, FBL, Aaron, Rashid, Eelco, Jan S, Johan, Nic + others I didn’t note
Next meeting: TBD GENERAL - Status of OVS 2.7 - almost ready for release -- Will not be an LTS. Additional value of "LTS" label questioned as recent branches are typically maintained anyway -- FBL reported that OVS 2.7 looks good through some Red Hat testing (https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/329114.html) - DPDK version support -- OVS supporting DPDK 17.02 does not require any code changes -- Question was whether docs etc. should be updated for DPDK 17.02 or stay at DPDK 16.11 (Ciara) -- No dependency on new DPDK 17.02 features at present -- DPDK 16.11 is a DPDK LTS release. Consensus was to keep docs at DPDK 16.11 at the moment. Discussion in thread (https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/329111.html) - DPDK 16.11 has a stable branch - looks a good idea to use tip of this branch and pick up big fixes (Ian) FEATURES - Just mentioned that NAT and reconfigure patches are on mailing list for review. PERFORMANCE - Jan Scheurich shared some analysis of packet drops for PVP by instrumenting code with counters and seeing what is occurring around the time when a virtio queue fills. -- No significant performance drop with instrumenting the code. ~1%. -- Upcalls causing packet drops. Also seeing differences between QEMU versions. HWOL - Discussed use cases for Hwol without conntrack. -- Mentioned VNF Firewall, discussed that partial offload (e.g. Hw classification) was a mechanism for acceleration and not a use case. > >>> On 12/13/2016 05:47 PM, [email protected] wrote: >>>> You have been invited to the following event. >>>> >>>> Title: OVS-DPDK bi-weekly meeting >>>> Hi All, >>>> >>>> At the OVS-DPDK Meetup after the OVS conference, it was suggested to >>>> have a regular sync up call between people working on OVS-DPDK.
