Shivank's Intern update

 

tried to use 32-bit Java, then install Fedora 36 on Node 4, other upgrades have not worked for eBPF applications. Need help from someone on-site at Intel

Sridhar will give Shivank access to Pod 18: it is up to date, need to install PROX on any node.

Trex and PROX are running on Node 5 using Node 4 eBPF as loopback

Next phase is using k8s pod for loopback and Cillium CNI on Node 4

(this is a 6 month Internship).


Post review of Daniele's workSridhar

Some issues we dig into now

simonartxavier@gmail.com  and Luc?

Once we containerize prox, and we assign multiple cores to single interface, it crashes.  how can we run Prox with multiple cores in a container??



Tasks and Action Plan for Shivank
  1. Get access to the Testbed (Pod18 now)
  2. Demonstrate how to use Prox and T-Rex on Node-5
  3. Start with Baremetal and eBPF: Node-5 and Node-4
  4. Kubernetes Cluster Setup - Node-1 and Node-2: Install Necessary Components.

Intern: ToDos before 6th
  1. Accept ICLA in Gerrit.
  2. Open Jira ticket for VPN Access to Intel Pod12.
  3. Add SSH key to gerrit.
  4. Create Jira tickets (a) Story (b) Tasks.

Open Programmable Interface Project (Linux OPI)Sridhar

New project, forming governing board now.

Change CPU NIC architecture, more autonomy and CPU power goes to NIC in OPI, more than smart NIC now. New Trust boundary between Autonomous NIC and CPU.

Opportunity for Benchmarking work with us.

Need to know planned NIC speeds, Need NIC HW to benchmark.


Testbed - IXIA supportSridhar/Al

2nd ACTION: Do we have support from Ancuta or other IXIA person?  Al Morton sent e-mail

ACTION: License for IXIA HW - Check with Trevor

Trevor Cooper says connected and powered on, but we still might have a license issue. Need Pierre's help.

this seems to have stalled ...


Additional Mentoring inputSridhar/Federica

  Federica

Past meeting: python scriptscripts.  Possible combine 1 and 3

@Sridhar will expand on the proposal descriptions and Federica will begin to ask students about their interests.

python scripting with K8s is possible for some students in 3rd year. Projects must have resume value, add skill set or new experience.

Sridhar Rao created some projects.

ACTION: See proposals & review

XDP performance Studies for Cloud-Native NFV Use Cases

"Maryam Tahhan joins the crew to talk XDP, AF_XDP, and fast networking"

Operations support seems to be a big issue, and performance is currently about 0.7 of VPP and DPDK




Blosure to Daniele's work and see if there is anything worth publishing, may consider less-selective conferences if novelty is lessSridharBring to next meeting - ACTION
