Attendees: Morten Brorup, Jerin Jacob, Anoob Joseph, Vipin Varghese, Qi Zhang, Cristian Dumitrescu 1. Ori (RTE_FLOW maintainer) and others were not present, probably on vacation, hopefully they will be able to attend the next call on this topic. Ferruh had a last minute conflict that he could not avoid. 2. Cristian presented a few slides (attached) with the problem statement, current RTE_FLOW gaps for P4-programmable devices and the list of current solution proposals. 3. Everybody on the call agreed that the P4-programmable devices from Intel, AMD and others need to be fully supported by DPDK and that there are some gaps in RTE_FLOW to be fixed for supporting these devices. 3. Ori suggested in a previous email to potentially introduce a registration API In RTE_FLOW for user-defined flow items and actions. Cristian replied with a proposal on the email list and currently wating for Ori's reply (see also proposal #2 on slide 5). 4. Will setup a follow-up call in early September. Regards, Cristian
