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
We want to start SDN gap analysis based on
https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/blob/master/doc/ref_arch/openstack/chapters/chapter08.md
First priority: Required capabilities for
Discovery (Sukhdev) - networking part
Load Balancing (Per)
Service Function Chaining (Suresh)
Packet Acceleration (Suresh)
