Wiki

• Date and Time: PDT 9:00am / UTC 16:00, Friday October 02, 2015
• Chair: Bin Hu (AT&T)
• Participants:
  • Hannes Frederic Sowa (Redhat)
  • Iben Rodriguez (Spirent)
  • Jonne Soininen (Nokia)
  • Mark Medina (ClearPath)
  • Meenakshi Kaushik (Cisco)
  • Prakash Ramchandran (Huawei)
  • Sridhar Gaddam (RedHat)
  • Vikram Dham (Dell)

We focused on Sprint-1 ODL Gap Analysis and related issues. In summary:

• Sridhar described current ODL issues:
  • ODL Lithium SR1 only supports Floating IP addresses for VMs. It currently does not support L3 IPv6 Router.
  • We cannot create IPv6 subnet using Neutron REST API in ODL. Although subnet creation appears successful but the necessary OVS flows are not applied on the br-int bridge because there is a Java exception. This is because in ODL, OVSDB NET-VIRT doesn't support IPv6 yet. There is a bug report and workaround of ignoring subnet of IPv6 in external arp resolver (https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/25635/1) to avoid Java exception. But the problem is not solved.
  • No support for shared tenant networks. So, each tenant needs to have their own vRouter.
  • Mutli-node setup in Spirent Lab is configured with ODL for L2 support and Neutron L3 agent for Routing.

• Sridhar gave an update of Neutron:
  • In Neutron + OVS setup, each L3 agent runs and manages the router in a separate namespace
  • IPv4/IPv6 Routing uses iptables and not ovsflows. With connection tracking support in OVS, in future this can be enhanced to use the OVS flows instead of IPtables.
  • Neutron Rest API only supports /64 IPv6 subnets.

• We discussed PoC design. It is good for long term, because it should work in this way
  • Any feature that is required for OPNFV IPv6 use-cases if found missing in Neutron/ODL, the idea is to propose it upstream in the respective component and track/implement it so that it becomes part of the upstream feature.

• Iben and Jonne work offline on allocating /48 address block and configuring physical IPv6 router

• Iben and Sridhar work offline to address several access issue, such as MTU size, OVS setting, ESXi security setting etc.
