[openstack-dev] [Neutron] VLAN aware VMs

Hi Erik,

While we were discussing about the service VM framework, the trunk port
support was also mentioned.  I think people do see the needs for it. 

I have seen someone have mentioned another BP
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/quantum-network-bundle-api in
your BP already. Maybe it is same as what you are doing.

And the trunk port use case can also impact how the zone being constructed
in the fwaas context (when a firewall VM uses a trunk port to connect
multiple networks). The basic question is how we should present a trunk port
and the vlan on a trunk port to Neutron.

Hi!

We are looking into how to make it possible for tenant VMs to use VLAN
tagged traffic to connect to different Neutron networks.

 

The VID on frames sent/received will determine which Neutron network the
frames are connected to.

I would like to find others that also see the need for this kind of
functionality and would like to discuss this.

Regards,
Erik
