  • standing agenda item for defining 1.10: Discontinuing domain proxy

    • Minutes: CMU is planning to use it and doesn’t have an alternative. If we plan to kill it, need to identify and document an alternative, ideally one that is open source. Radio vendors sometimes provide one but they are specific to each radio. Lucas G suggests moving to a standalone repo. Yogesh points out that it needs to be tightly integrated with Orc8r. We can disable the CI job for DP. Would need architectural changes. It is hard to have the DP be a standalone for use outside of Magma. Som suggests feature flag to disable in CI.

    • Consensus

      • Disable in CI if possible, maybe behind a feature flag

    • My recommendations is as follows (Som Sikdar )

      • Here is my suggestion for TSC’s consideration

        1. Let's do 10 kits each with AGW and Stargate UE

        2. Let's separately buy 5 4G/5G radios (US band)

        3. We will use external cellular hotspot+Stargate for 5G UE - that way they are flexible for testing in various countries

        4. We use the logistics proposal from Isolated
