Is there a way to tell which DPDK version is in use at any given time in the 
vRouter repo? I see that the contrail-dpdk repo has 2.1 and 1702 branches 
listed as active: https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-dpdk/branches



But the vRouter repo doesn’t even have a 4.0 branch yet despite 4.0 being very 
close to release. Does that mean that master is still on 2.1 and no 1702 work 
has started yet?



Where would I look to see what branch of the contrail-dpdk repo is used with 
what branch of the contrail-vrouter repo?

[opencontrail-dev] Elastic Flow Distributor

2017-04-13 Thread CARVER, PAUL
In DPDK 1702 Intel added support for Elastic Flow Distributor which might be 
able to boost Contrail vRouter performance.

When Contrail upgrades from DPDK 2.1 to 1702 or later it would be worth looking 
at adding support. Has anyone looked at EFD? If not I can get some more 
information on it from some of my contacts.

Hi Raja,



Yes you are correct. Actually we hadn't installed following packages--



sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev



Due to this we had to remove "nl-3" and "nl-genl-3" library linkings from some 
SConscript/Makefiles. But after installing above packages, UT is compiling 
successfully

Hi Deepak,

It should build and also run the unit tests if you are building DPDK 
vrouter. Please see the following in vrouter/dpdk/SConscript



vtest = Command(target = "all_tests.log",

source = "../utils/vtest/vtest",

action =

"./vrouter/utils/vtest/all_tests_run"

+ " -b " + Dir(env['TOP']).abspath

+ " -x vrouter/utils/vtest/tests"

+ " -l $TARGET"

)

Depends(vtest, dpdk_vrouter)



DPDK vrouter should be built if the third_party/dpdk directory exists (please 
see the following in vrouter/SConscript)



dpdk_exists = os.path.isdir('../third_party/dpdk')

Hello,



I was exploring the UT framework for vrouter. It seems currently the UT binary 
(i.e. vtest) doesn't get compiled. I had to do few changes here and there 
(mainly in SConscipt file and Makefiles) to get vtest binary compiled.



Is it correct that on trunk branch vrouter UT is not compilable? Or did I miss 
anything? I am using following command to compile and start the UT



==> sudo scons vrouter "--opt=debug"

Re: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start

You’re right that “getting started” documentation is a major area for 
improvement.

We’ve got a new documentation repository where I hope we will be able to start 
consolidating the best information and weeding out the older and less accurate 
information, but currently it’s just a skeleton.

https://review.opencontrail.org/34136

If you’ve kept good notes on what worked and what didn’t we would love to have 
your help in cleaning up and consolidating the stuff that worked.

Subject: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start

Dear All,
I am quite new to OpenContrail, but not so much to OpenStack or fiddling around 
vrtual networking in general. I am trying to bring up a single node 
OpenContrail. Something along the lines of `devstack`. Unfortunately, the 
documentation seems to be all over the place, for instance the Quick Start 
Guide looks quite dated and hard to follow.
It took me a bit of a time to actually find out that there's a repo called 
`contrail-installer` that does something along the lines of what I want to do. 
I had a few troubles getting around the issues to make it run successfully on 
Ubuntu 16.04 (clearly the support doesn't exist, and looks like this project is 
not actively maintained), I have not yet completely gone past that issue - but 
using another approach I followed I am able to build the repository(ies).
After stumbling upon the following document -

http://juniper.github.io/contrail-vnc/README.html
I managed to eventually get everything to build (though the approach I followed 
was inspired from what is mentioned here, but not exactly those instructions). 
For instance, when you build everything - it starts with web-core which I am 
not so much interested at the moment. I have managed to build the vRouter agent 
and the kernel module. (along with almost everything from the 
contrail-controller repo).
I have a couple of questions -
1. Was I really looking at right places? This seems to be a rather steep 
learning curve for someone working for the first time with OpenContrail.

2. If I am just interested in 'talking to agent somehow' and configuring the 
'vrouter kernel module' to see what the datapath looks like - what should be 
the next logical step? Is it even trivially possible. I haven't looked at some 
of the unit-code tests yet, which I would probably next, but just wanted to 
learn if there's an alternate / better way.
Thanks in advance.

You have a DNS issue on your machine. “unable to resolve host address 
‘github.com’” means that your machine is failing to lookup github.com. You need 
to have working DNS before you start.

The place where the script breaks is in verifying the MD5 hash on a package 
that the script is trying to download, but it’s the DNS failure that’s 
preventing you from downloading the package in the first place.

[opencontrail-dev] CI question "recheck no bug"

2017-07-10 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I see fairly often that someone posts a "recheck no bug" comment to Gerrit. I 
assume this means that the CI failed for reasons that are unrelated to the 
specific commit and the CI needs to be re-run for that commit. Is there an 
underlying problem that is known? Are there obstacles to getting the root 
problem fixed?

I made some minor spelling and grammar corrections to a spec file and hit 
multiple CI failures. The only file in the commit was a Markdown file so the 
failures just don't make sense. Looking at Jenkins I see things like this:

I guess I could have been more specific, but I just assumed that it would be a

user/advisory group, just a conference call every a month or two for an hour to

[opencontrail-dev] [GovernanceWG] Election of additional member

2017-07-20 Thread CARVER, PAUL
Greg,

Has there been any progress on the creation of a governance Git repository 
under the current Gerrit CI? I don't see anything.

The first formal resolution to go into the repository is going to be the 
election of a fifth member of the GWG.

I believe each of the three candidates were going to provide a brief write-up 
of their background so that the four current members of the GWG can have some 
basis for voting on the fifth.

Brief overview: When troubleshooting VNFs using mirrored packets, when the 
packets are not received at analyzer instance, there is no way to tell if VNF 
is not working or mirroring is not working. The information at 'flow -l' is 
only temporary (till timer expiry) and the only information available at 
analytics is a flag 'mirror' in action field. To facilitate better 
troubleshooting, we intend to capture some more mirroring information 
(mirroring index, mirrored bytes and packet count) in analytics.

Please review the blueprint and provide inputs.

I don’t how likely it is that users are subscribed to the opencontrail-dev

of objectives or feedback loop to the developers.


In addition, some sort of invitation should be sent out for new user members to 
join. That web page states “No sponsorship or fee is required to join the 
board, and members have committed to a one-year term, renewable on an annual 
basis” so perhaps we could encourage some turnover on an annual basis.

Hi Raja,

As I updated last week, I am no longer getting this error (after I switched

start the contrail-dpdk binary, I get following error—

contrail@contrail-23:~/dev/contrail-installer$ /usr/bin/contrail-vrouter-dpdk 
--no-daemon --socket-mem 1024,1024
ERROR: this system does not support “SSE4_2”.
Please check that RTE_MACHINE is set correctly.

After debugging the root-cause of above issue, I found that in file 
“third_party/dpdk/mk/machine/native/rte.vars.mk”, following check (marked in 
red) is missing. I came to this conclusion because—


1.   On my setup, compiler doesn’t report SSE4_2 support

a.   checked with command “gcc -march=native -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep 
SSE4_2”



2.   File “/var/run/dmesg.boot” is not present

Based on above points and following code, “MACHINE_CFLAGS” will get set to 
“-march=corei7”

# on FreeBSD systems, sometimes the correct cputype is not picked up.
# To get everything to compile, we need SSE4.2 support, so check if that is
# reported by compiler. If not, check if the CPU actually supports it, and if
# so, set the compilation target to be a corei7, minimum target with SSE4.2
SSE42_SUPPORT=$(shell $(CC) -march=native -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep SSE4_2)
ifeq ($(SSE42_SUPPORT),)
  CPU_SSE42_SUPPORT=$(shell if [ -f /var/run/dmesg.boot ] ; then grep SSE4\.2

So I added above additional code as highlighted in RED. Recompiled DPDK library

There is a contrail-installer repo but seems to be little outdated.
With no support for MITAKA and earlier releases of devstack, it makes things 
more difficult.

We tried pushing a fix to the repo but there was didn’t get response on the 
pull request

https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-installer/pull/147<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_Juniper_contrail-2Dinstaller_pull_147=DwQFaQ=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ=yEARNo_bph8KGjEjDPNf-01YZhFn5bN9cQSUBrXLimE=NkwdROTC1ZmUzH1ZzThfOxSWJ7HYZIz5YeBIIU13fQU=>

Eventually, we wrote a couple of scripts and repos as a stopgap solution to get 
things started. This hacks around a few of the issues to have a working 
devstack-all-in-one-node.

We are working on contributing by fixing issues and documenting relevant 
getting-started steps.

For now, if it helps, you can try using

https://github.com/nasim-techtrueup/contrail-devstack<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nasim-2Dtechtrueup_contrail-2Ddevstack=DwQFaQ=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ=yEARNo_bph8KGjEjDPNf-01YZhFn5bN9cQSUBrXLimE=xuSHI2cjWO4RVgy_kjgOwnuS0oDMqHVJEDjJPSg5R6w=>

which is working fairly well for mainline contrail + newton devstack on

You’re right that “getting started” documentation is a major area for 
improvement.

We’ve got a new documentation repository where I hope we will be able to start 
consolidating the best information and weeding out the older and less accurate 
information, but currently it’s just a skeleton.

Subject: [opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail Quick Start

Dear All,
I am quite new to OpenContrail, but not so much to OpenStack or fiddling around 
vrtual networking in general. I am trying to bring up a single node 
OpenContrail. Something along the lines of `devstack`. Unfortunately, the 
documentation seems to be all over the place, for instance the Quick Start 
Guide looks quite dated and hard to follow.
It took me a bit of a time to actually find out that there's a repo called 
`contrail-installer` that does something along the lines of what I want to do. 
I had a few troubles getting around the issues to make it run successfully on 
Ubuntu 16.04 (clearly the support doesn't exist, and looks like this project is 
not actively maintained), I have not yet completely gone past that issue - but 
using another approach I followed I am able to build the repository(ies).
After stumbling upon the following document -

http://juniper.github.io/contrail-vnc/README.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__juniper.github.io_contrail-2Dvnc_README.html=DwMFaQ=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg=xtmPik_TP2fjPVGWP4yBRQ=b7k-Tvrzapir03QSr1nFcNlK35bYBHB0hIZmOhlmXt4=TsYHkF9nxE0tFVAKlF0wIdLf6XtDJRC93Wy4Gl7TzCw=>
I managed to eventually get everything to build (though the approach I followed 
was inspired from what is mentioned here, but not exactly those instructions). 
For instance, when you build everything - it starts with web-core which I am 
not so much interested at the moment. I have managed to build the vRouter agent

[opencontrail-dev] Slide deck from the OCUG meeting

2017-05-15 Thread CARVER, PAUL
Randy,

Thanks for your presentation at the Open Contrail Users Group last week. Can 
you please post a public link to your slide deck for people who were unable to 
attend or who didn't take phone photos of every slide. Especially, the link to 
the Google Group needs to go out so that everyone on the Dev mailing list can 
sign up.

I have a list of potential topics for the first meeting of whatever forum you 
end up organizing.


  *   Compiling Contrail from source - There has been a fair amount of 
discussion of this on the mailing list recently
 *   Discussion of issues people are encountering
 *   Build scripts
 *   Prerequisites
 *   Documentation of the build process
  *   Due dates
 *   An overview of current key dates in the process (blueprint, code 
complete, testing, documentation, beta, GA)
 *   Discussion of any changes that might help contributors plan better
 *   Dates for dates - set expectations on how and when the key dates for 
future releases will be set
 *   Missed date management - discussion of how slipped dates for Juniper's 
GA release impact community development
  *   Testing procedures
 *   Discussion of how third party developers should expect to interact 
with Juniper during the time period between code freeze and beta and GA
 *   Discussion of beta vs release candidate and whether there are process 
improvements needed in order to ensure that third party developers are able to 
catch and fix bugs in the features they are developing
 *   Overview of test framework, not just unit tests but functional and 
full stack automated tests
  *   Documentation
 *   How are non-Juniper developers expected to deliver documentation for 
features that they develop?
 *   When is documentation due?
  *   Core reviewer / TSC / meetings
 *   What are the expectations for a non-Juniper developer to become a core 
reviewer?
 *   Does Contrail have anything equivalent to a Technical Steering 
Committee?
 *   Are there any regularly scheduled meetings (e.g. on Slack/IRC or 
teleconference) for developers to sync up on progress of their changes, discuss 
code reviews, discuss bugs, etc
 *   Build system problems - How can non-Juniper contributors effectively 
troubleshoot issues like this:

[opencontrail-dev] OpenContrail summit and governance

2017-06-20 Thread CARVER, PAUL
Hello OpenContrail Community,

In preparation for the OpenContrail summit on June 28th, I've put together an 
initial draft of document to stimulate discussion on project governance as well 
as processes and obstacles related to contributing to Contrail. If you're 
interested in making it easier to contribute to Contrail, or you have specific 
examples of things that made it difficult to contribute, please take a look at 
https://review.opencontrail.org/#/c/32414/ and provide feedback.

I'll incorporate as much feedback as I can into the document prior to the 28th 
and look forward to discussing the finer details with everyone on the 28th. I 
do expect that four hours on the 28th is far too little time to do everything, 
so this would be a good time to start thinking about potential follow-up 
activities and perhaps some sub-teams who would dig deeper on specific topics 
and write up proposals and/or recommendations.

If you're a Contrail contributor or want to be, especially if you're not a 
Juniper employee, now would be a good time to start thinking about how you can 
help make Contrail easier for you and people like you to contribute to.

Re: [opencontrail-dev] Contrail Route Targets

2017-10-17 Thread CARVER, PAUL
Route targets are used in the typical manner of MPLS networks to define network 
reachability, but you only have to specify them explicitly when you 
interoperate with BGP routers that are not under Contrail's control. It's not a 
matter of physical vs virtual. Any non-Contrail router that you're using, 
whether physical or virtual would need to be configured with matching route 
targets in order to exchange routes with Contrail. Contrail also uses route 
targets for vRouter to vRouter networking but it manages them internally so you 
don't have to explicitly allocate and configure them.

Generally you'll want at least one gateway between your Contrail networks and 
all the rest of the world (whether that's the Internet or one or more private 
networks whether WAN or LAN), so you'll want to coordinate what route target(s) 
to use between Contrail and that gateway. The gateway itself could be either a 
physical router or a virtual router running on server type hardware depending 
on your performance needs.

Re: [opencontrail-dev] [TSC WG] Transitioning to open source - PLEASE VOTE

2017-09-26 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I agree. There may be certain cases where certain features are mutually 
exclusive. For example, desire for absolute highest possible packet throughput 
may be at odds with some feature that requires a large amount of processing per 
packet. However, even in that case, I think it will still be in everyone’s best 
interest to make it at least an install-time configurable option.

I don’t see the ARB’s function as deciding what features are “allowed” to be 
developed. The function is to provide guidance and coordination in order to 
allow contributors to cooperate without tripping each other up.

Anybody who absolutely needs to maintain a private fork in order to meet a due 
date for a feature with a lot of money behind it can do so, but it’s still 
going to be better for them to eventually integrate it upstream than to diverge 
permanently.

Wouldn’t this be true of anybody who is serious developer in open contrail.
Either they have need for a feature in their cloud or they are getting a fat 
check. For Speed of development they will have private fork.

However it is in their interest to sync with main branch, otherwise they lose 
the benefit of community.

So I would not be worried about it.

So you have only two choices here ..

or

* Split Open Contrail into two independent code branches one driven by Juniper 
and one pure open source which pretty soon will be incompatible with each other.

while in general I agree. It is simply too hard to find such. Since Linus and 
Vish are not applying for the job I am afraid that an attempt to impose such as 
system, may lead to what I experienced while Nicira led Neutron. I would not 
call that benign.

Do you remember Bill Jolitz by any chance? Then you understand my concern about 
handing the keys over. BSD386 kicked Linux ass when they both came out. Linux 
was just barely more functional then Minux, yet it put BSD386 into the ground 
in less than 1 year. Sun’s ARB worked ok for every Berkley ass on it, there was 
a kindly mentor who would help you understand what your code should be, 
creating a counter balance.

If we find the right candidate we can reorganize the ARB around a chief 
architect with assistants to help carry the load. So far no volunteers 
internally from Juniper. Can you think of a candidate who can dictate 
architecture both to Juniper internal engineering and all other community 
participants? How’s your spare time now-a-days?

Thanks
Greg

Re: [opencontrail-dev] [TSC] Request for bios for the ARB

2017-09-28 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I would also like to be considered for being a member of the ARB.

Paul Carver is a principle member of technical staff at AT working on 
Contrail and OpenStack based SDN. After being involved in AT's 
Neutron+OvS+GRE overlay deployment he led an evaluation of available OpenStack 
compatible SDN products in 2014-2015 which included paper analysis of a large 
number of alternatives and lab testing of the finalists which culminated in 
AT's use of Contrail. After the selection of Contrail, Paul created a process 
for gathering Contrail feature enhancement requests from all AT subject 
matter experts and prioritizing AT's development requests to Juniper. Paul 
also initiated discussions with a number of software development vendors who 
are interested in contributing code to Contrail and mentored them on the 
Contrail development process including blueprints, specs and code review as 
well as coordinating the communication of technical requirements for specific 
Contrail feature development. Paul continues to maintain AT's internal 
Contrail development backlog and reviews all AT Contrail development requests 
with the internal AT requesters in order to fully understand the technical 
details of each request.

Hi all,

As discussed in the OpenContrail summit we are looking to create an 
Architectural Review Board in order to review submitted blueprints, which are 
architectural change proposals. During today's TSC call we defined the 
qualifications for the candidates:

Qualifications for being part of ARB

  *   Members with strong technical background. As an example an architect, a 
CTO, a technical director with tech
  *   Understanding on the OpenContrail architecture
  *   Understanding of SDN/NFV and their use cases

Good to have:

  *   Understanding how Open Source operates (blueprint reviews etc)
  *   Understanding the code of the specific component and related third party 
libraries that is being reviewed
  *   Understanding of the full system view, but either be an expert in system 
level or be an expert in a specific area but with some level of understanding 
in the system.

Please Reply All with your bio if you want to be considered for a seat in the 
ARB by the end of the week (10/1 - I am including the weekend in case that 
helps folks to find time to do it). Please keep it to no more than a page.

Regards,

Joseph

Re: [opencontrail-dev] Proposed OpenContrail @ KubeCon agenda

2017-11-28 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I’d like to propose the following in relation to the email chain below and the 
discussions that took place on the TSC call yesterday. I’ve created an Etherpad 
(hoping OpenStack doesn’t mind us using their Etherpad server for 
collaboration) with a copy of README.md from the contrail-installer repo. I 
suggest that everyone who feels inclined to help should go through the Etherpad 
and update it with any corrections they’ve found in getting their environment 
set up. I’ve also created a companion Etherpad for questions/problems that 
people were not able to solve.

After the developer meeting next Wednesday I will take the contents of the 
Etherpad and merge them back into the contrail-installer repo as a hopefully 
more complete and more accurate procedure that people can follow with more 
success and less guesswork. The URLs are:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/oc-tscwg-installer
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/oc-tscwg-installer-QandA

If/when you edit the first Etherpad, please use Markdown syntax if you need 
formatting, don’t use Etherpad’s formatting toolbar. I would like to just copy 
and paste it back into the Git repo where GitHub will automatically render the 
Markdown formatting. For the second Etherpad, you can use the formatting 
toolbar if you want to. I don’t plan for that second Etherpad to be long lived, 
it’s just to gather questions and discussion topics aimed at fixing the 
README.md file.

Subject: RE: Proposed OpenContrail @ KubeCon agenda

Sure, we can discuss but more importantly it is better to put together a 
taskforce to get this done:


-  Edward said they have some fixes

-  Valentine during the TSC call also mentioned that probably they can 
contribute their process to build and deploy

-  Paul with the rest of Infrastructure group are also putting the 
CI/CD in place

-  I have mentioned in the past have a way to build OpenContrail (but 
not deploy)

Combining all the above we should be able to fix the issue sooner rather than 
later. I can pull the above people together and start working on this. Output 
will be documentation (worse case) or chef/pupper/ansible manifests at best…

And Yi: I think you are recently started catching with the community up. This 
issue has been identified long ago, we all know about it, people (especially 
Infrastructure committee and other outside) work on a fix. It doesn’t happen 
overnight and it is up to all of us to put “our house in order”. So let’s see 
how we can do our share moving forward ;-)

So, any volunteers to put some sort of OpenContrail installation together 
(single or multi node) to start with please let us know and I will pull 
everyone together next week.

2017-11-22 Thread CARVER, PAUL
The more questions the better. The ideal would be no slides and all questions, 
answers and discussions.

No formal pre-work is required, but I would encourage anyone who is 
contemplating any Contrail development to spend a little time thinking about 
what you think your development steps will be and make a list of anything that 
you’re unsure about. The goal of this session is to get developers up to speed, 
so the more specific examples we have of either obstacles or simply things that 
ought to be covered in a getting started guide but aren’t will be helpful.

I’m hoping to create the beginnings of a developer FAQ based on what questions 
people have.

The December 7th event has been cancelled. There's a short "user track" at the 
end of the day on the 6th, but no separate event on the 7th.

Greg told me yesterday that he was going to send out Eventbrite invites 
yesterday but I didn't see them so I assume he ran out of time before getting 
to it. You should go by the agenda in the Google doc. The info on the 
opencontrail.org website is older and still needs to be updated.

No, sorry. It’s just a regular “HD” camera I bought a couple years ago. If 
anyone does have a 4K camera they want to bring, I’ll defer to them. Or, an 
option would be to do both Zoom video and a YouTube (or other) livestream with 
one camera positioned right up close to capture only the whiteboard and another 
camera for a wider shot of the room. Remote participants would be able to 
choose between watching one or both depending on how much monitor 
size/resolution and bandwidth they have available.

The discussion is about a possible move to a once per year release cycle for 
OpenStack with one Project Team Gathering (PTG) per year at the start of the 
release cycle. Individual OpenStack projects would be free to do intermediate 
releases, and the current use of milestones within a release would continue but 
with perhaps an 8 week spacing between milestones. The discussion also touches 
upon providing a longer interval for functional testing prior to release.

The OpenContrail TSC and/or GWG should discuss whether it would make sense to 
align the OpenContrail release cycle with the new OpenStack release cycle 
(assuming that OpenStack does move to the once a year model, right now it's 
just a mailing list discussion, I don't think it has been voted on yet by the 
OpenStack TC). Two possible options are to align OpenContrail functional 
testing and release candidates to the same time period as OpenStack and release 
at the same time, or to choose a fixed offset. For example, set OpenContrail 
release 2 or 4 weeks after OpenStack release.

Of course it's not necessary for OpenContrail to coordinate release schedule at 
all with OpenStack, but if OpenStack does move to a one release per year cycle 
it's at least worth discussing the pros and cons of aligning OpenContrail to 
the same calendar.

Re: [opencontrail-dev] Next OpenContrail summit at Kubecon Austin

2017-11-10 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I would recommend making travel plans based on the Austin convention center 
with the following schedule:

Arrive by noon December 5th if you're interested in governance
Arrive by noon December 6th if you're interested in developer level discussion 
of code and tooling
Arrive by mid-afternoon on December 7th if you're interested in socializing 
with Contrail interested people

Personally I'll be arriving by noon on the 5th and departing early in the 
morning on the 7th.

The location will NOT be in the convention center but Greg is hoping it will be 
within walking distance in order to attract Kubecon attendees.

Juniper is supposed to be booking space, perhaps at the Hilton across the 
street from the convention center, but I haven't seen anything definitive about 
that.

Even if it's not within walking distance, you shouldn't go too far wrong flying 
into the Austin airport and booking a hotel somewhere in the general downtown 
area.

Re: [opencontrail-dev] We need a new name

2017-12-01 Thread CARVER, PAUL
I don’t know how to convince the LF and Juniper lawyers, but I completely 
agree. I want a commercial support arrangement, but I don’t want commercial 
software that is “based on” or “derived from” Open Source. I want a commercial 
support contract for software that *IS* Open Source. The commonality of the 
naming is important because I specifically want to know that when I buy Linux 
of OpenStack or Contrail from a vendor that what they’re selling me is support 
and services, NOT permission to use proprietary software that shares x% of its 
code with an Open Source project.

To me the ideal would be multiple vendors all with their own separate groups of 
customers but with everybody agreeing that Juniper’s Open Contrail and X’s Open 
Contrail and Y’s Open Contrail are all the same software, cooperatively 
developed by Juniper and X and Y, with vendors differentiated by level of 
support, pricing, strength of presence in various countries, knowledge of 
customers’ specific industries, etc.

I know some lawyers, perhaps including AT’s lawyers, don’t like the GPL, but 
I personally do like it specifically because I like knowing that the software 
I’m paying for doesn’t merely *contain* some formerly open source code, but is 
in fact currently and will be in the future, entirely Open Source.

The most valuable property of Open Contrail is that it comes from the same code

Renaming it means to many customers a divorce from the original principle.

Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform which also

So RedHat is using Linux in the product name without owning the trademark.
They also should not have a registration mark against Enterprise Linux on their 
site as It is not a USA registered trademark.

We do need to retain Contrail as trademark not just use it in the product name.

Both internal lawyers and LF lawyers had a fit. Trust me I did not give up this

Re: [opencontrail-dev] [Announce] Opinion Please: Help Choose OpenContrail's New Name

2018-02-13 Thread CARVER, PAUL
The Linux Foundation refuses to accept the OpenContrail trademark if they can’t 
also have the Contrail trademark. So, although you feel that they are not 
similar, we don’t have any leverage to override LF’s decision. Unless you 
really think we should abandon the move to LF (please don’t) and go back to 
square one of deciding on a new governance structure, we have to accept the 
LF’s stance.

Were there other names on the naming candidate list 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tSx3PLQbyojqJZHStl6fetDU3lX5774mItajbFWOccc/edit
 that you like better that didn’t make it onto this poll?

Personal opinions are always going to have some differences, for example I 
think CFabric is terrible as well. Ian Rae had mentioned Cloudcircuit, which I 
kind of like but I have to admit it’s fairly blah. Nothing on the naming list 
really jumps out at me as a really terrific name, but I’m not particularly 
invested in what we call it.

If you’ve got a suggestion that passes trademark review (because that’s 100% 
mandatory and beyond our control) then please do campaign for it. But it isn’t 
doing us any good to keep coming back to OpenContrail because the lawyers have 
spoken, not just Juniper’s lawyers but the Linux Foundation’s lawyers. And 
unless you’ve consulted your own trademark lawyers and gotten a different 
opinion (that your lawyers are willing to argue with other lawyers over) 
there’s just nothing to be gained by lamenting their opinion.

Hi Edgar,

Completely agree ! Terrible. Why not something very easy like CFabric ? (Oh no

Exactly proposed the same few months back (when this all started to surface). 
Got back bunch of unicasts from J that this is impossible to negotiate - the 
internal decision has been made.

I actually still do not understand the real reason: LF/Community project name 
is: OpenContrail. Juniper commercial name is: Contrail. Completely different 
words/names. What's wrong with keeping it as it was named day one ?

Otherwise looking at the three alternatives provided it does look like someone 
really hard is trying to kill the community version :(

Cheers,
R.

In my opinion, these three names sound awful. I think we should do better

with OpenContrail. Maybe going under Linux Foundation is not the best option 
for this open-source project. I know a lot of people have invested a lot of 
effort on making this project part of the LF but again, just feel that we are 
going to lose a lot. Maybe we could negotiate with Juniper, they were the ones 
deciding open-source it, maybe they are willing to change the name of the 
enterprise version.

These are just my thoughts.

Thanks for reading and understanding my opinion.

As many of you already know, we are required to change the name of the project 
as part of moving to the LF-N.

We've started the ball rolling by coming up with a slate of names that we've 
preliminarily vetted with trademark counsel. That process has yielded three 
names that we are reasonably confident can pass the more stringent trademark 
test that is presently underway. Now, we need your help.

We've set up a Google Form poll to gather community input on which of these 
three names might be most preferred by a plurality of members. Please follow 
the link below 

Re: [opencontrail-dev] We have a new name!!!

2018-03-03 Thread CARVER, PAUL
You're thinking of polycrystalline tungsten. This is tungsten FABRIC where the 
warp and weft of the fabric allude to the pure single-crystalline form 
(admittedly fabric isn't body centered cubic, but the name is merely evocative) 
which retains its hardness but is more ductile and malleable. And when combined 
with OpenStack, Tungsten Fabric forms a superalloy 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superalloy suitable for ultra-high performance 
applications such as gas turbines and the nozzles of rocket engines.

As with tungsten, Tungsten Fabric is best used in combination with other 
material where it lends it high melting point and tensile strength to the 
complementary properties of the weaker materials with which it is combined.
