Antitrust Policy: https://r.lfnetworking.org/Antitrust%20Slide.pdf
- Webinar
- Review of AIs from the NFG Action Items list
- Current status of the contents creation
- Move from PR #1325 [RM-Networking] Networking Scope, Principles and H/L Model https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/pull/1325 into Master https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/blob/master/doc/ref_model/chapters/chapter03.md
- Network Overview Diagram: PR #1568 https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/pull/1568
- Update contents of Sec 3.5 of RM (adding principles): PR #1565 https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/pull/1565
- Updates to Sec 4.3 of RM
- Planning next updates (NFG roadmap items). Proposed High Priority items:
- Role of SDN and standardization of SDN integration into Cloud Infrastructure. What are the key integration reference points that are of the highest priority?
- Spine-leaf architecture. How much do we (CNTT/NFG) need to be specified, and how much we can leave to implementations?
- Programmable fabric. Should we specify P4 as the standard following current ONF work, or should be more generic?
- Protocols in underlay and overlay. Should we specify which protocols are allowed or be more generic?
- Acceleration (incl SRIOV and DPDK). Workload inter-working aspects.
- AOB
Minutes & Actions:
Minutes
- Webinar: LFN organized webinars; Networking topic: Network Model, speakers: Walter, Tomas. CNTT Technical Webinar Topics
- High priority items:
- SDN: currently RA-1 we assume Neutron API compatibility. The issue: either maintain this view or propose beyond this view (e.g. using upstream OpenStack, or use Heat templates, etc.). See AI #8.
- Spine-leaf architecture: h/l diagram in RM? is this over-specifying? Does RA-1 needs more information form RM? RA-1 does not need more information: Pankaj. To be continued in the next meeting (parked).
