RE: Updated invitation with note: SONiC - OCP Subproject Call @ Every 2 weeks from 8am to 9am on Tuesday (PDT) (Xin Liu) - 12/14/2021

[Yanzhao Zhang]

Team,

During tomorrow’s SONiC community meeting (12/14/2021), we have below topics:

 

• High level design for route flow counter (Nvidia) - 45 mins
• https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/908
• 202205 release feature candidate checkpoint, below is the current candidate feature list. Please take a look and we will spend around 10 mins to discuss hot issues (if you have).
• Note this is not the final list, some members are still working on their 202205 contribution plan but not listed (yet) in the table

hostcfgd Redesign | split hostcfgd into multiple services	Currently hostcfgd is handling a lot of tables and this leads to performance issues. This has lead to many bugs like https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/8619. So It is necessary to split hostcfgd into multiple services. The requirement is to come up with a design of how to split hostcfgd and what approach to use, either multi threaded or multi process. Based on design approval this needs to be implemented	Nvidia		1/15	N/A	3/15	N/A	No
Password Hardening https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/874/	a user password is the key credential used in order to verify the user accessing the switch and acts as the first line of defense in regards to securing the switch. The complexity of the password, it's replacement capabilities and change frequency define the security level of the first perimeter of the switch. Therefore - in order to further improve and harden the switch - a secure mechanism is required to enforce PW policies.	Nvidia	MSFT					No
Queue statistics based on queue configurations and not max	Performance optimization to query only relevant queue in MC aware mode (8-15 are unused)	Nvidia	MSFT	N/A		1/30		No
Add system date row to ‘show version’	Provide a baseline to improve debug flows	Nvidia		N/A		2/28		No

The outpout is in the same format of the show mac but has only same requested vlan. show mac address interface <interface_name>  The outpout is in the same format of the show mac but has only same requested interface (also port channel). show mac summary Will return a count of all FDB entires. including the aging configuration to be taken from switch.json.j2 The out put should be as the show mac summary  For example: Total number of entries X show mac summary vlan <vlan> For example: Total number of entries X Note: same outout as the show mac but inlcuded only the vlan requ show mac summary interface <interface_name> For example: Total number of entries X Note: interface name can be any interface or port channel. show mac address type <type> Type can be statis or dynamic Will return only the MAC learned for specific type.

VLAN Stacking	This feature provides Q-in-Q and VLAN translation for service providers who carry traffic of multiple customers across their networks and are required to maintain the VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations of each customer without impacting the traffic of other customers.	EdgeCore
Config Reload Enhancement: Introduce the Transaction Mechanism	Motivation In the current design of 'config reload', it does not mean the sonic configurations to be reloaded had been finished when the execution of 'config reload' has done. When the execution of 'config reload' is done, it is possible that some sonic services have not been fully populated and the system in terms of sonic services is not in ready state. It is just wasting time to initiate another 'config reload' transaction when the previous transaction has not been done. It is better to have a transaction protection to avoid that condition. Goal 1. Add a mechanism to avoid initiating a new 'config reload' operation when an existing transaction is still active. 2. Add a background process to monitor the progress of 'config reload', which utilizes the facility provided in 'system-ready-HLD.md'(https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/blob/984ab4bd74621f5acdb93126543d2b1e2c20019f/doc/system-ready/system-ready-HLD.md). The lock for the transaction will not be released until a definite result is got by the background monitoring process. NOTE: This feature depends on "System Ready HLD". The reference to "System Ready HLD" is shown below. * Sonic MoM on 2021/10/5 https://groups.google.com/g/sonicproject/c/0o8gLL4FsFE/m/3_OxYGG8AwAJ	EdgeCore
