Re: [bmwg] BMWG informal "bar" BOF after Hackdemo Happy Hour on Mon 06-Nov

["Maciek Konstantynowicz (mkonstan)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Giuseppe,

The impromptu BOF went well, we had only few people from BMWG
(Carsten, Jeffry, me), but attracted interest from wider IETF
community: netdef/frrouting, freebsd and St Andrews University, and
some opsawg folks.

Co-authors of two opsawg drafts were asking questions about relevance of
the SW networking benchmarking to their work focusing on sustainability
and power measurements:

    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-almprs-sustainability-insights/
    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-opsawg-poweff/

We agreed to re-connect after IETF118 and see if there is a scope to
connect the dots.

The focus was mainly on SW Networking data plane testing and
benchmarking, using LFN FD.io materials per links in my original email
from Mon 06-Nov.

In line with what we discussed in IETF-118 BMWG meeting on Mon -06-Nov
in the morning, 

I like Sarah’s suggestion to schedule an interim meeting to cover the
topic properly, with more complete BMWG partiicipation, per
https://notes.ietf.org/notes-ietf-118-bmwg.

Regards,
-Maciek
