General Discussion
* UNH has started publishing results from in repo DTS to lab.dpdk.org as of
yesterday
   * Just running mac_filter now, but will add more testsuites and devices
soon
* TestPMD Verbose output: Last year there were two patches submitted (but
not accepted) pertaining to adding new verbose levels to TestPMD
   * Patch:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20240802195824.1336603-5-stephen@networkplumber.org/
   * One would add a verbosity layer 4 which would print 1 line per packet
in tshark format
   * One would add a verbosity layer 5 which would provide a hex dump of
the packet
   * These options above were of interest to us for matching packets, and
gathering more info via testpmd for certain testsuites
   * At that time, Alex was looking for an addition to the patch which
would include RSS hash and RSS queue info
   * Today, Dean from UNH is running into a similar need for his
checksum_offload testsuite, which he wants to update in order to match
based on the payload (via the hexdump option). So, Dean is reviewing this
old series and may see if he can start a conversation with Stephen (the
original submitter) on it.

=====================================================================
Patch discussions
* Sut cleanup:
   * Missing a type hint - Dean will submit a new version
* Reviews for the topology patch are critical so that we can merge this
soon and avoid having to update it
* Remaining patches:
   * Majority are old patches from Jeremy which Patrick needs to rebase,
test, update if needed, and apply. Most of the testsuites should run fine
more or less as is. The framework updates (like VF support) might be a
heavier lift.
* Ethertype:
   * Nick will toggle back to this once he’s done with reviewing Luca’s
topology patch (today). His capability check based on setting a standard
TPID is working, so he should be unblocked.

=====================================================================
Bugzilla discussions
* None

Any other business
