Agenda:

• Previous meeting

• Situation:
  • Testing with End-to-end EJFAT ERSAP solution on FPGA LB
  • Jumbo Frames - indra-s2,s3, alkaid, fpga
  • Linux IP stack buffer size increased
  • Using script based LB Control Plane
  • Control Plane Gratuitous Arp cache updating (Scapy)
  • Benchmarking
  • RT2022 - April 01 submission

• To Do:
  • Near Term:
    • Cron for Scapy Gratuitous Arp
    • data_id <-> reassembly port mapping
    • Hall-B has an old version of the firmware, so VTP will send TCP (no UDP). Could intercept and resend UDP VTP streams (12 streams, if we get 3 crates) to how LB can handle 12 ID's and do effectively an aggregation.
  • Downstream:
    • DPDK
    • P4 enhancements for ipv4/6 ping, arp
