This section is to-be-completed)

• Enhance test setup in Intel/WR lab
  • Have few compute nodes with right HW
    • Ensure to have SRIOV-NIC cards
    • Ensure to have crypto accelerator cards (QAT)
• Ensure that vFW sample VNF works with SRIOV-NIC VFs
• Create a new sample VNF (IPSEC VNF) for them to leverage crypto accelerator cards.
  • Start with traditional Ubuntu with QAT driver installed.
• Create new test cases with various HPA features assigned to VNFs.  Few example:
  • vFW with dedicated cores, SRIOV-NIC VF, Huge pages
  • vIPSEC with QAT
  • vIPSEC with AES-NI
• Work with Integration team to add the test cases in integration project.
• Work with demo repository owners to introduce new sample VNFs and add new HEAT/ENV files for existing use cases
