- vF2F 22 - 25 June 2020, 2020 June Virtual LFN Developer & Testing Forum Topic Proposals
- Walter: High-level view of Network Reference Model: Walter to present for discussion and feedback
- Walter: Carrier grade definition proposal: Walter to present for discussion and feedback (see Item #15 in Action Items list below)
- Tomas: Status of updates to Sec 4.3
- Walter: Sec 3.5 of RM status: PR #1565 https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/pull/1565 in Master RM (https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/blob/master/doc/ref_model/chapters/chapter03.md)
- SDN content updates (based on gaps identified in https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/blob/master/doc/ref_arch/openstack/chapters/chapter08.md):
- Sukhdev: Discovery - networking part
- Per: Load Balancing
- Sursh: Service Function Chaining
- Suresh: Packet Acceleration
- Review of other AIs from the NFG Action Items list
- 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
