Team Meeting Agenda/Notes - Feb 20/2019
- Welcome back from the holidays

Neutron Patch Upstreaming:
- Network Segment Range
	- Gerrit Reviews: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/network-segment-range-management+(status:open+OR+status:merged)
	- Need to drive to get the code merged. Stein MS-3 fast approaching (Mar 8). How do we escalate the merge?
	- Ghada to send email to Miguel
	- From Matt: Discuss the original segment range validation as follow-up gerrit reviews
		- Not all the validation code was proposed to neutron 
			- Segment Range overlap validation has been added. 
			- Min/Max leverage functions in neutron-lib
		- Matt will have a look to see what else is missing.
			- The use of the plugin utils covers off the range validation from the original patch.
			- The attribute validation is not required since these parameters are no longer specified on a segment range basis. 
			- No additional changes required.
- Other Patches
	- Last update: 6-7 patches still on-going
	- Status updates made to the upstreaming spreadsheet

Containerized OVS Integration
- Code Merge Plan: Mar 15
- Created a story for the required openstack-helm per-host override enhancement : https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2005059
- Chengli has made the required code changes in a private git. Testing was successful.
- Tried AIO-simplex with OVS container and OVS-DPDK on the host
- Posted STX code review for the required stx-config changes:  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/633924/
- Next step is to test the other configurations -- AIO-duplex and multi-node
	- Need to test inter-node traffic between VMs to ensure the physical interface is setup properly
- Ghada to ask Bob Church on process to push changes to the openstack-helm project

OVS process monitoring and alarming
- Code Merge Plan: Mar 22
- Not started yet as Chenjie is developing TCs for the openvswitch patckage upversion

OVS-DPDK Firewall
- Code Merge Plan: Mar 22
-  80% of functional testing complete; no issues found. Kailun needs to check on the performance testing status.

openvswitch package Upversion
- Code Merge Plan: Mar 22
- v2.11.0 is not posted on github yet; monitoring: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/releases
- Will update the plan accordingly once the release is available
- Chenjie is defining the TCs for basic functional testing and also working w/ Elio (test team) on defining the TCs for feature functional testing.
	- Ghada requested that the selected TCs be shared with the networking team

TSN support in STX
- A TSN related submission is at https://www.openstack.org/summit/denver-2019/summit-schedule/events/23389/precision-time-protocol-ptp-on-starlingx
	- PTP is already supported in StarlingX. The code is already merged: 
	https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:merged+project:openstack/stx-config+branch:master+topic:ptp
- What's the plan to support TSN in STX?
	- TSN is treated separately from PTP in STX
	- For TSN, the plan is to just confirm that passthru of the I210 NICs to the guest is working in Stein
		- The nova support was done by the community under a re-factoring/cleanup PCI activity. Not sure about the exact commit/review.
	- This will need to be verified after cut-over to Stein


Regards,
Ghada
