   * HIGH PRIORITY:
      * Shell refactoring patchseries: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=34865
         * We really need this done - Patrick has blocked out his 3pm-5pm today to get this reviewed and tested

         * We will start writing the single core forwarding perf test while we wait for reviews
   * Merged patchseries:
      * Port_stats testsuite has been merged
* Old testsuites:
   * Patrick rebased/updated and resubmitted the port_control testsuite. But I found one more change which is needed just now - can submit that today.
   * The other old patches from Jeremy have been re-tagged to “changes requested” on patchwork, and Patrick will be working through these.

Bugzilla discussions
* None

=====================================================================
Any other business
* There will be a “Birds of a feather” session at DPDK Prague, which we could suggest a topic for:
   * Idea #1: DTS Testsuite API/module. What functions are currently exposed to testsuites, and what others can be added in the future?
* Next meeting is May 22, 2025
