Topics discussed.Syslog rate limit design- Nvidia
- why not this design reusing hostcfgd for the host side configuration? >> can be used, hostcfgd is a new feature, not available when we started it. Nvidia will pursue this
- Community is looking for a daemon based approach to listen to config_db for all the changes dynamically ex: dhcp_relay, hostname
- Does this design support ratelimit runtime configuration(without service restart)?
- Shouldn't we also make it configurable for rsyslog to suppress duplicate messages?
- Can this design handle - lose the syslog message when the rsyslog daemon restarts?
- should there be an option to specify immediate restart ? or next boot ?
- Is this design dependent on app extension to be used? >> Nvidia confirmed app extension is not dependent here, this is how to expose functionality with app extension
- Nvidia action items

Topics discussed.SONiC gNMI server interface design - GangLy/MSFT
Why introduce a new container instead of reusing telemetry? Telemetry container has been used for config purposes by some applications today, can telemetry container be renamed and continue to be used? If a new container is required, what is the backward compatible/migration plan?
Looks like admins can directly write to AppDB with gNMI API w/o using Application, this may result in data consistency issues? for security concerns, someone bypasses some checks and directly operates the DB. How to mitigate?
Will gNMI expose the capability info like which table can be changed, which one can not?
- Why don't use OC models instead sonic yang models for set configuration? >> There will be some SDN applications like DASH/PINS that don't have OC models support. Goal is support various models & interfaces

Topics discussed.ECMP Overlay BFD support - Prince / MSFT
- Does this feature support BUM traffic ? No - Since Vnet routes are based on unicast routes, it supports Unicast only.
- Does the feature support control plan BFD / FRR BFD ? No, this BFD offload to ASIC
- What is the motivation/use case endpoint monitor ip is different from the actual endpoint running BFD ? The use case is - There are devices support data vs control plane on different ports for monitor purpose
- Can the design support query ASIC BFD capabilities before writing the BFD session ? could be possible, will add into the HLD
- Can the control plan & hardware offload BFD coexists on the same device ? yes/No - Need to brainstorm complexity - Will split the HLD into two, one dedicated to BFD to describe all the scenarios.
- What are the default BFD timers used for offload ? WIll be included into HLD
- Is there any global session bfd table for default values? No
- Community suggested to have BFD into a separate HLD ? Ex: coexistence may cause issues, need to discuss more in details
- How about end user CLI to control BFD session either hardware offload or FRR BFD ? Next phase
- Do you have a BFD state db schema mapped to the Rfc BFD schema ? Will be included in HLD
- How do handle or notify BFD sessions from HW?
- Is it possible to remove BFD routes from the ECMP group ? yes, vNetOrch

Topics discussed.SHow Running Command Enhancement - - EdgeCore/MaxChen
- What are the use cases of this feature ? Customers familiar with CISCO like CLI, goal is to make it more convenient or trivial to understand the current running command .
- How does the design handle the maintainability of these improvements?
- How does Yang show the running command ?
- It looks like manual work, shouldn't it be duplicated to the sonic-mgmt-framework which is yang driven/auto generated? >> Not really!

Routed Subinterfaces Enhancement - Preetham/BRCM
- What are the use cases of shorter sub interface naming ?
- Why does it required to bring in the short names? >> Kernel naming limited to 15.
- Where do you store the mapping short to long name child to parent ?
- Suggestion - for consistency reason keep vlan interface mandate.
- Is this config change only for routed subinterfaces ? How do they differentiate ?
- There must be a short name convention in SONiC already, is this design considered that?
- Why can't this short vs long name conversion hide in intrfaceMgrD? >> it looks like the changes are widespread

Topics discussed.SAG - Static Anycast Gateway - EdgeCore/MaxChen
- Is the SAG feature enabled by default? >> No, the feature is default disabled.
- Why do I need a knob for SAG? >> Please list down in HLD sections, is there any implications for taking care in data path handling of SAG vs macvlan interfaces.
- Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's not required to have a global knob. A global knob will introduce a lot of complexity and cases to handle. >> So is it necessary to have a knob for SAG?? can the gateway & ip address list can't be sufficient ? >> It seems to be true.
- SagMgrD is not required when we plan to use SVI instead of maxvlan interfaces.
- Is there my hardware resource limit on SAG interfaces ? can it be referred to in CRM?
- Please list down what are the complexities when SAG is enabled along with SVI/macvlan interfaces in data path routing?
- CLI SAG command can be part of interface command.

Topics discussed.SRv6 HLD - Houdi from Alibaba + Intel
How did you arrive at this requirement ex: SRv6 sidList per Policy = 4 ? Is this specific to Alibaba deployment?
How deep can transit nodes be ? Why is this limited to 3 in HLD? - Again, deployment specific - more headers results in SRH header compression.
How does the design support tying up the policy with routes? right now it supports policy tie up with prefixes. can be enhanced.
The workflow diagram is a little confusing, needs an update and should discuss it once again - pl focus on w.r.t ownership of the route data and who does what modifications + in terms of consumers/producers.
Alibaba/Intel will share the PR for review...

I hope I am using the right channel.Eventd is planning to use stateDB to house event history table, alarm table and stats tables. They get updated every time an event/alarm is raised.These tables are of fixed size: event history table size is customizable with maximum size being 40k or time limit of 30 days - at which time, eventd deletes older records. Stats table is of fixed size with a handful of records. Alarm table only contains a record when an alarm is raised and record is removed when the alarm is cleared.How does stateDB gets overloaded?Madhu>> As the operational data stored in state db today, by adding events, alarms and stats (frequent data) into it makes state db easily out of limits. In addition to that a software (eventD open source)/design flaw makes it worse. Unlike APP_DB, State DB is more read friendly, more writes/updates due to events/alarms/stats become performane issues? Btw, do you get a chance to estiamte on state DB with new data / what is plan to mesure performance of state db with ne data writes?Is it because of db writes?

Topics discussed.Policy based Hashing - Nvidia
- How does the design calculate hash resources ? There is no SAI API to calculate this. Please add a comment in the HLD.
- How does CRM resources handled with PbH?

- What is the behaviour if PBH table/resources is full ? there is no API - currently raise syslog/error to user and fallback to no PBH - hash will not be created
- Does SONiC track any thresholds ? Currently the ACL thresholds are being tracked but not the scarce resource like ALU / mirror sessions / no thresholds being tracked
- Hashing will be calculated only on inner frames . based on type ipv4 or ipv6 or vxlan user defined
