• Date and Time: PDT 8:00am / UTC 15:00, Friday October 23, 2015
• Chair: Bin Hu (AT&T)
• Participants:
  • Brian Smith (Bell Canada)
  • Meenakshi Kaushik (Cisco)
  • Prakash Ramchandran (Huawei)
  • Sridhar Gaddam (RedHat)

We reviewed actions since last week on Oct 16.

• Sridhar has set up ODL Lithium SR2, and the same type of issue still exists, i.e.:
  • Security groups for IPv6 is not supported
  • net-virt provider doesn't support IPv6. This prevents us from using Neutron REST API to create subnets because exceptions are thrown.
    • The workaround in SR2 didn't solve this exception.
    • The root cause might be due to lacking the support of Security Group for IPv6 in ODL
    • Details are in http://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/neutron-dev/2015-October/000462.html.
  • ODL-L3 doesn't support IPv6
  • ODL doesn't support Shared Tenant Networks
  • With this issue, some manual setup is needed instead of automatic setup. But we can still achieve PoC feature.
• Sridhar has revised the wiki documentation based on new ODL SR2 setup.
• Sridhar will also revise the documentation for native OS+ML2OVS environment to be consistent with OS+ODL environment

Bin reported his action items:

• Bin worked with Fuel installer and Apex installer, and got the information that although current target is to bring up odl-l3 instead of neutron-l3-agent, there shouldn't be an issue to keep neutron-l3-agent instead of odl-l3.
  • GENESIS-72 was opened to track this
  • We will re-evaluate the final end-state of installers later on, e.g. December or January, to determine our course of action
  • We may need additional instructions before Step 4, and after installation, to bring up neutron-l3-agent and disable odl-l3, if the end-state of installer doesn't enable neutron-l3-agent
• Bin added roadmap in wiki documentation, and sent an email to mailing list to encourage community involvement and experiment of IPv6 PoC, and asked for continuous and additional hardware support from community labs, e.g. Spirent.

We discussed testing. 5 test cases are identified:

• Step 1: verify VM1 and VM2 has been provisioned with IPv6 address based on RA from vRouter
• Step 2: verify VM1 and VM2 can ping6 vRouter
• Step 3: verify VM1 and VM2 can ping6 each other
• Step 4: verify VM1 and VM2 can ping6 ipv6-router
• Optional Step 5: if ipv6-router is set up external connectivity, verify VM1 and VM2 can ping6 an external address.

We also discussed to have a tutorial session in OPNFV Design Summit on Monday or Tuesday. Bin will talk about IPv6 in Telco Grade Requirement Session of OPNFV Summit on Thursday Nov 12, focusing end user requirement plus technology. So the tutorial session in OPNFV Design Summit will focus on hands-on demo of PoC. Bin will add it in Etherpad of design summit. It is noted that Iben has created an IPv6 demo session at OPNFV Demo Theater on Wednesday Nov 11, and project team's support is expected then.

Actions item from this meeting:

• Prakash to complete testing plan based on test cases we discussed above
• Bin to add IPv6 tutorial session in Etherpad
• Bin and Meenakshi work together to replicate the environment in laptop
• Sridhar to revise the steps of native OpenStack with ML2 OVS environment.
