Hi Swaminathan.

I work for a virtual networking startup called Midokura and I'm very interested in joining the discussion. We currently have distributed router implementation using existing Neutron API. Could you clarify why distributed vs centrally located routing implementation need to be distinguished? Another question is that are you proposing distributed routing implementation for tenant routers or for the router connecting the virtual cloud to the external network? The reason that I'm asking this question is because our company would also like to propose a router implementation that would eliminate a single point uplink failures. We have submitted a couple blueprints on that topic (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/provider-router-support, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/bgp-dynamic-routing) and would appreciate an opportunity to collaborate on making it a reality.

Note that the images in your document are badly corrupted - maybe my questions could already be answered by your diagrams. Could you update your document with legible diagrams?

Looking forward to further discussing this topic with you!

Sincerely,
Artem Dmytrenko

 Hi Folks, 
 I am currently working on a
 blueprint for Distributed Virtual Router. 
 If anyone interested in
 being part of the discussion please let me know. 
 I have put together a first
 draft of my blueprint and have posted it on Launchpad for
 review.
