Agenda

Old Items

  • Take 1 more week to review charter
  • 802.1x maybe is not possible to include in B release
    • Release B already closed from driver development standpoint
    • In validation stages
    • Move on to release C?
    • Will check with Kishore on timing/release
  • "Maintenance" release between major feature releases
    • could introduce new driver features
    • bug fixes
    • continuous delivery would be nice, but needs build system improvements to enable
    • TSC needs to initiate review of both replica and Network Grade Linux
  • Release B timing (July 2021)
    • Marvell side on track
  • Release C (end of 2021/beginning 2022)
    • 2 releases per year not unreasonable for Marvell
    • target this release for build system
      • replica or NGL
      • instead of ONL
  • Platform support may take longer (IE: replacing ONLP)
  • Meeting frequency
    • Reduce frequency after charter decided and B release features soldified
    • Need to figure out if 802.1x is in B release or not

New Items

  • 802.1x data plane
    • push out schedule of release B by a few months
    • alternatively, move to release C if pushing out release B is unfavorable
  • RADIUS/TACACS+ issue needs further refinement
    • System login portion with pre-existing Debian packages of PAM modules (B release)
    • Per command authentication and logging (later releases)
  • Try to coordinate development of 802.1x driver specification using github or jira issues to track progress better
  • Hardware accelerated NAT support
    • 6to4
    • 4to4
  • Keyed IPv6 tunnel

Actions

  • Delta to provide POE controller software specification
  • Amazon to supply PoE daemon requirements (Steve Noble)
  • Determine if 802.1x driver support is feasible for B release
  • Need to develop specification for 802.1x driver portion
