Today’s open source landscape features an ever-expanding number of mature projects with development activity spanning across multiple organizations. Developers on these projects come from large and small enterprises, educational institutions, and a pool of unaffiliated, open source developers. This diverse group of contributors work together to enable their projects’ core goals or use cases. However, with this diversity of projects, developers, and outcomes, there are challenges. How can we reliably meet the needs of all stakeholders? When setting up a...

In a recent project, we decided to explore using the Cisco NX-OS 9000v virtual switch as part of our pre-deployment testing infrastructure. The virtual switch functions identical to our actual NX-OS hardware switches, but with the benefit of running purely as a virtual machine (VM) or appliance on top of our cloud infrastructure. That cloud infrastructure is a multi-node vSphere deployment, that uses distributed vSwitches, each having multiple uplink port groups, to provide high availability across the network domains. Figure...
Hosted by The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL), the DPDK Community Lab exists to provide prompt and reliable continuous integration(CI) testing for all new patches submitted to DPDK by its community of developers. Every time a patch is submitted to DPDK Patchwork, it is automatically applied to the main DPDK branch, or the appropriate next- branch, and run across our test beds. Now entering its 6th year in operation, the Community Lab has progressed beyond its initial goal...

This year, a total of...
As someone who has been working at the IOL for around 7 months, I found it hard to communicate with vendors at first. I have never really had to communicate with other professionals before and it seemed really stressful at first. I decided to make this blog as a way to inform newcomers at the IOL how to communicate with vendors and make this part of the job stress free. While working at the IOL, one of the many...
