-This session followed the previous workshop of FRR and discussed an asynchronous data-plane / zebra.
+This session was a follow-up from the previous FRR workshop and discussed the asynchronous data-plane / zebra.
-voltanet.io presenter, not the coder himself though.
+The presenter was from voltanet.io, however it was not the coder himself.
-- ZAPI - API between zebra and routing daemons.
+The talk begun with the ZAPI - API between zebra and routing daemons. Now it has one thread per client in ZEBRA. This was followed by asynchronous communication with FIB. E.g.: remote switch (voltanet). There are two threads now: zebra-main, zebra-dplane connected by two queues. The zebra dataplane talks with "kernel". The ACK path (installed in HW) is only used by sharpd (installs 1 million routes, testing daemon), but needed for BGP, RIP according to Donald.

-  routes, not relying on linux-kernel driver doing it. A: Yes.
-- toerless: change nexthop-group-members ? Donald: No, not there yet.

+A comment from cumulus linux, there is currently no feedback from linux-kernel when route is installed onto ASIC (eg: broadcom).
+Kiran asked whether the dataplane deamon could expand to directly use chip API to install routes, not relying on linux-kernel driver doing it.
+The answer was yes.
+Toerless then asked to change nexthop-group-members?
+Donald replied that it's not there yet.
