IPv6 Gap Analysis with Open Daylight
Here is the gap analysis with Open Daylight:
IPv6 ToDo in Beryllium: https://trello.com/c/IlLJcL1x/26-ipv6
IPAM/DHCP: https://trello.com/c/fBL9uD8G/25-l3-dhcp-ipam
| Use Case / Requirement | Supported in ODL Lithium SR1 Release? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| API support for IPv6 subnet creation in ODL | Yes | Yes, it is possible to create IPv6 subnets in ODL using Neutron REST API. When we query the port information on networks with both IPv4/v6 subnets we can see both the addresses. |
| IPv6 Router support in ODL | No | ODL Lithium SR1 release only supports IPv4 Router. Support for IPv6 Router is planned using Routing Manager as part of Beryllium Release. In the meantime, if IPv6 Routing is necessary, we can use ODL for L2 connectivity and Neutron L3 agent for IPv4/v6 routing. However, because of the following issue, we are unable to use this feature. Note: The issue seems to be fixed upstream and could be available in later releases of ODL. |
| IPAM: Support for IPv6 Address assignment modes. 1. SLAAC 2. DHCPv6 Stateless 3. DHCPv6 Stateful | No | Although it is possible to create different types of IPv6 subnets in ODL, ODL_L3 would have to implement the IPv6 Router that can send out Router Advertisements based on the IPv6 addressing mode. Router Advertisement is also necessary for VMs to configure the default route This could be part of Routing Manager in Beryllium release. |
| When using ODL for L2 forwarding/tunneling, is it compatible with IPv6. | Yes | |
| Full support for IPv6 matching (i.e., IPv6, ICMPv6, TCP, UDP) in security groups. Ability to control and manage all IPv6 security group capabilities via Neutron/Nova API (REST and CLI) as well as via Horizon. | No | Security Groups for IPv6 are currently not supported. |
| Shared Networks support | No | ODL currently assumes a single tenant to network mapping and does not support shared networks among tenants. |
| IPv6 external L2 VLAN directly attached to a VM. | Todo | |
| ODL on an IPv6 only Infrastructure. | Todo | Deploying OpenStack with ODL on an IPv6 only infrastructure where the API endpoints are all IPv6 addresses. |
