OVS DPDK DSA Architecture/Design Discussion

OVS DPDK DSA Architecture/Design Discussion

[Stokes, Ian]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 667 bytes --]

Hi All,

We'd like to put a public meeting in place for the stakeholders of DPDK and OVS to discuss the next steps and design of the DSA library along with its integration in OVS.

There are a few different time zones involved so trying to find a best fit.

Currently the suggestion is 2PM Tuesday the 15th.

The plan is for this to be a public meeting that can be shared with both DPDK and OVS communities but for the moment I've invited the direct stakeholders from both communities as a starting point as we'd like a time that suits these folks primarily, all are welcome to join the discussion.

Thanks
Ian

There is no DSA library.
Do you mean the IOAT driver in DPDK for the DMA library?

If it is just for discussing the Intel driver, no way I attend.
And even if it is for discussing the DMA library integration,
I don't understand why the DPDK community is required.

If there is an issue with the library API, please tell it.
We need email discussions, not meeting request sent few hours in advance.
Ian, I know you are not a beginner in the community, what happens?

Apologies Thomas,

DMA-Dev library is actually what's intended to be discussed to clarify. Will re-send the invite with the correct title.

Thanks

If you want to have a good number of attendees,
you should postpone to a later date, so we can plan in advance.
You also need to describe the problem to discuss.
That's really better to start with emails, and to have a summary
after the meeting.

So if I understand well, there is no urgent problem to discuss?

Agreed, we have a few people who can't make it today so will push to the same time next week. I'll also update the summary of what's to be discussed. So it's clearer.

No Immediate issues, but from what I understand a number of designs have been prototyped so their results and next steps should be discussed for an agreed approach from both communities to allow future use and integration.

Thanks
