Oct 9th, 2017

Andy worked on IR builder and infra for externs (packet in + verify). IR builder is used for most things. Has worked on merging.

Skip spent time making sure what we are generating can be connected up to VPP as a plugin. Uses the latest master of VPP to test the generated code.

Johann Tonsig and David George from Netronome to apply for access to team members not on the call interested in the project.

Plan is to use standard VPP repo. Old repo built plugin in tree. Plugin should be compilable out of tree with VPP installed. Add to makefile to check what version of VPP would be installed. Make based off this. Have a trusted tag. Have a test script that validates behaviour with static and run time integrity testing. There are some nice to haves here, which won't be available at first.

Opens

Having P4 files from Netronome to target specific use cases and prioritise certain features would be useful.

Netronome has found having IR in files to be useful for visualisation tools.

Next meeting on October 23th, 8:00 am PT
