Hello DASH Open Source Community – thanks for your time over the last 2 weeks. We had a lot of work occur over the time period, please see below.

For the period of March 26 – April 8, 2026 we showed high activity with 54 PRs created and 35 PRs merged across 12 repositories. The 64.8% merge rate and 3.9 PRs/day velocity reflect a busy two-week sprint focused on:

202511 Branch Stabilization – HA cherry-pick batches ensuring release readiness
DPU Management Tooling – Significant improvements to single-DPU configuration and lifecycle management
DASH Feature Completion – NVGRE, CRM, Private Link, Counters, and routing improvements
Platform Infrastructure – ZMQ reliability, gRPC/gNOI framework, Mellanox/AMD platform fixes

The high PR creation rate in sonic-mgmt (31 of 54) continues to reflect the importance of the test infrastructure layer for validating DASH/SmartSwitch functionality across platforms. For further information, please see the details below.

The DASH channel link is here to subscribe / access WG content (and click the bell to receive notifications). I’m also still looking to leverage the Linux Foundation lists more to manage communications. If you could please take the time to enter your info here, I can proceed with deletion of the sonic-dash@googlegroups list we used when we began the project.

Thank you for your time/contributions – see you on 4/22/2026

Full DASH Community Notes 😊

· Recent PR Statistics, distribution, and feedback: reported that since the last meeting, 54 PRs were created and 35 were merged, with sonic-mgmt and sonic-buildimage being the most active repositories.

· Reporting Distribution: explained that the reporting includes a summary at the top, detailed PR activity in the middle, and links to meeting videos at the bottom, and asked participants to notify Kristina if they are not receiving these communications.

· Feedback Request: invited feedback on the length and usefulness of the report, encouraging participants to let her know if the format needs adjustment.

· HA and System Health HLD Progress: highlighted ongoing HA work, cherry picks to the 2025-11 branch, and announced that Ramesh is preparing a draft version of the system health HLD, with Ramesh confirming the draft is nearly ready.

· Inner Source MAC Rewrite and Azure Dedicated Team Contributions: discussed the Azure Dedicated team's work on the inner source MAC rewrite, mentioning that Alan picked up the PR from Soumya and is adding a sonic-mgmt test to validate scale for T0 topology.

· Southbound ZMQ High-Level Design Discussion: introduced the high-level design for southbound ZMQ between Orch Agent and Sync D, inviting participants to review the open PR which aims to improve route programming performance and includes technical documentation and diagrams.

· Counters and Metrics PR Status and Documentation Alignment: Michal raised questions about the counters and metrics PR status, leading to a discussion with Srinivas and Prabhat about implementation, documentation discrepancies, and the need for updates to reflect the use of VNET GRE keys for last mile handling.

· PR Status and Implementation: Michal asked about the status of the counters and metrics PR, with Srinivas confirming that the AMD libsai implementation is complete but requires updating to version 1.17.5 in the 2025-11 branch, and Prabhat noting that Lawrence had updated the sonic-mgmt tests.

· Documentation Discrepancy: Michal explained that there is a discrepancy between the original design and the current implementation regarding the use of a single DRI key versus VNET GRE keys for last mile handling, and that the documentation does not fully reflect the evolved implementation.

· Action Items for Documentation: It was agreed that the documentation, particularly the high-level design, needs to be updated to accurately describe the use of VNET GRE keys and the inbound/outbound lookup logic, with Michal and Prabhat agreeing to follow up and create a PR for the update.

· HA Reconfigure Test and Keepalive Patch: highlighted the introduction of a HA reconfigure test and a patch for keepalives in ZMQ client/server, with Prabhat explaining the keepalive fix addresses issues after DPU reboot.

· ZMQ Keepalive Patch: discussed a patch that introduces TCP keepalives for ZMQ client and server sockets, ensuring stale connections are detected and reconnected after DPU reboot or restart, addressing an issue where the first object was not programmed correctly.

· Documentation Update for Inbound Packet Processing: Michal and Prabhat discussed the need to update the high-level design documentation for inbound packet processing, specifically regarding VNI lookup and direction setting; a PR needs to be created for this update.

· Inbound Packet Processing Clarification: Michal pointed out that the documentation should clarify that the lookup direction is determined not just by VNI but also by whether the ENI mark is on the destination or source, and that the same VNI can be used for both inbound and outbound traffic.

· Documentation Update Commitment: need a volunteer to create a PR to update the documentation, with Michal agreeing that this should be handled by their team.

· PTF Container Performance Issue in Hardware Testing: Mircea described a performance issue when using the PTF container to push dash config via GNMI client, with Prabhat suggesting to send details by email for further investigation.

· Performance Issue Description: pushing DASH config from the PTF container using the GNMI client is significantly slower (25 minutes versus 2 minutes) compared to running the GNMI agent container directly on the NPU.

· Troubleshooting and Next Steps: Prabhat suggested that the issue may be related to the PTF container itself and requested Mircea to send an email with details and code snippets to Prabhat, Lawrence, and Prince for further analysis.

· Branch Merge Coordination for SAI Update: Srinivas reminded the group about the need to merge version 1.17.5 into the 2025-11 branch for complete sonic data, with Prabhat confirming that the necessary actions have been taken and Srinivas requesting to be added to the relevant chat.

· Meeting Scheduling and Next Steps: Kristina announced that the next meeting will be canceled due to Spring Break and confirmed she will continue monitoring PRs, with the group agreeing to reconvene on April 22nd.

Follow-up tasks:

· System Health HLD Draft: Refine and update the draft version of the system health HLD for review. (Ramesh)

· Documentation Update for Last Mile VNET GRE Key: Create a PR to update the HLD documentation to accurately reflect the use of VNET GRE key for last mile handling between DPU and VM in VM mode. (Michal's team)

· Performance Issue with PTF Container and GNMI: Send an email to Prabhat, Lawrence, and Prince with details and code snippet regarding the performance issue when pushing dash config via GNMI agent from the PTF container. (Mircea)

· Branch Merge for SONiC Data: Ensure the V117.5 version is merged into the 2025-11 SONiC branch to enable complete SONiC data. (Prabhat)

· Add Srini to Chat Group: Add Srinivas to the chat group related to the V117.5 and 2025-11 SONiC branch discussion. (Kristina)
