Wiki

• Date and Time: PDT 8:00am / UTC 15:00, Friday October 16, 2015
• Chair: Bin Hu (AT&T)

We focused on discussing current steps and instructions of setting up Service VM as IPv6 vRouter in native OpenStack environment (with ML2 OVS) and in OpenStack+ODL environment. In summary:

• Current setup is based on environment of OS+ODL. This is documented in wiki.
  • There are many gaps in ODL Lithium SR1, such as:
    • ODL-L3 doesn't support IPv6
    • ODL doesn't support Shared Tenant Networks
    • 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.
      • There will be a workaround in SR2 to avoid Java exception. But full feature support will be in later ODL releases.
  • Thus the role of ODL is to provide L2 connectivity. No other features of ODL can be used in case of IPv6.
    • In this case, we still need to use neutron-l3-agent for IPv6 router namespace, and other Neutron features as well when needed
    • When OpenStack is upgraded to Liberty, one additional benefit in IPv6 is its Prefix Delegation support in Neutron.
    • However, PD doesn't add significant value to our IPv6 PoC
    • Thus upgrading OpenStack to Liberty is the same as using Kilo effectively
  • When ODL gets perfect and fully supports IPv6, we will use ODL-L3 instead of neutron-l3-agent.
    • Neutron becomes pass-through agent effectively
    • Thus the version of OpenStack doesn't make any difference
  • We need to install ODL Lithium SR2 to very several bug fixes in order to be able to use Neutron REST APIs to create subnets.
    • Sridhar will work on this

• Previously, we experimented the setup in native OS environment with ML2 OVS. This is also documented in wiki.\
  • Sridhar will verify the documentation, and revise it accordingly.

• For B Release deliverables, we assume that installer will take care of Step 1 through 3 to create OS+ODL environment. We only need to provide Step 4 and Step 5 documentation and instruction for B release.
  • One issue is that our current setting is to use neutron-l3-agent instead of odl-l3. We need to verify the end state after installation, i.e. neutron-l3-agent disabled or not, odl-l3 enabled or not.
    • We may need additional instructions before Step 4, and after installation.
  • Bin will communicate with Tim and Jonas to confirm the end state.

• We talked about future roadmap including:
  • Phase 2: more environments with other SDN controllers, such as OpenContrail, ONOS, Midonet, etc.
  • Phase 3: full-blown, bare metal environment
  • Both Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be beyond B release, and we need more resources to support Phase 2 and Phase 3, including:
    • Infrastructure resources, e.g. more bare metal machines in Spirent's VCT Lab
    • Developer resources in community to repeat the setup in various enviroments.
  • Bin will create roadmap in wiki
  • Bin will encourage community resources to repeat PoC setup in various environments

Actions include:

• Sridhar to revise instructions of Steps 1 through 5 for shared tenant networks and using Neutron REST API to create networks
• Sridhar to verify wiki documentation for accuracy and up-to-date
• Sridhar to install SR2 and verify bug fixes
• Bin to add roadmap in wiki documentation
• Bin to work with Installers to confirm the end state of installation, i.e. neutron-l3-agent disabled or not, odl-l3 enabled or not
• Bin to encourage community resources to repeat PoC setup in various environments
