Fixes for performance regressi= ons will be considered on a case by case basis. 2. AR: Kevin and Luca to document some policies for discussion. =20 List of supported OS's and compilers * Previously agreed just to advertise what is tested =20 Lab * Meetings ongoing to define objectives for lab * On-going discussions in governing board re. coverage etc. =20 DPDK Build Configuration * First draft of current design doc sent by Bruce to TB * AR: Ask for TB to review =20 KNI * Deprecation moved to recurring items =20 Status of Trex: * Has forked copy of DPDK - Some extra DPDK patches not upstreamed - Has additional PMD - Uses old build system * Trex is used in lab which causes problems: - New HW/drivers are not supported in forked copy Further discussion needed on the topic of traffic generators for lab use. =20
