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.
This session will include the following subject(s):
Neutron Switch Port Extension:
For services hosted in virtual machines or in namespaces, their interface plugs into a Neutron port which at most times maps to a virtual switch port (such as OVS port). Neutron is aware of this port and as such can establish the required network connectivity for that interface and service. However, when a service that is realized on a physical appliance is connected to a physical switch's port, it is often not possible to discover the location of this service to be able to provide the required network connectivity. We will discuss an extension to the port resource which can help solve this issue.
(Session proposed by Sumit Naiksatam)
Add port forwarding from gateway to internal hosts:
This BP virtually intends to implement a DNAT on routers. It enables outside to access internal hosts via different port on gateway IP.
This feature is important for running openstack as IaaS. It is important for a public cloud user to create a router and apply port forwarding and firewall rules to his/her internal network.
