Hello Neutron folks,<br>
There is emerging interest in programmable NICs that combine
FPGAs and networking in different ways. I wrote up about one
category of them here:<br>
<blockquote><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/fpga-networking">https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/fpga-networking</a><br>
</blockquote>
This was discussed at the Neutron meeting on Sep 3 [1]. This
approach to programmable networking raises many questions. I have
summarized them in this etherpad and proposed a possible solution. <br>
<br>
Please review this. We have a session in the PTG on Thursday (Sep
13) from 3:15 to 4:15 pm on this topic.<br>
<br>
Given the level of interest that we are seeing, I hope we get some
agreement early enough that we can do at least some POCs in Stein
cycle.<br>
