Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project. To see the full OpenStack Summit schedule, including presentations, panels and workshops, go to http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.
The aim of this session is to discuss about implementing a Distributed Virtual Router in Neutron.
Distributed Virtual Routing --------------------------- Today Neutron supports L3 Routing functionality in the Network Node. So for any Intra Tenant routing, the packets have to flow through the Network Node which creates a single point of failure. Also it introduces performance issues.
Distributed Virtual Router will provide flexibility to add routers within the compute node and route packets locally instead of passing through the Network Node.
The goals of this session would be: 1. To get consensus from the community on the right model for the Distributed Virtual Router with the proposed one. 2. Provide a roadmap for this feature support. 3. Identify any dependencies. 4. Next steps ( Define and refine any extra API's required, plugins to use either use the existing L3Plugin or write an extension) etc.,
