[openstack-dev] [neutron] L2 gateway as a service

Hi Salvatore,



Thanks for the review comments on the BP.



Yes, Maruti’s BP supersedes the review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/100278 posted by Isaku, and we

discussed with  Isaku during the summit to embrace his BP.



For the review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/93613 by Racha , we were not able to see how that

idea maps to implementation angle driven in Maruti’s BP.



And Kevin’s idea of giving neutron representation of external-attachment-points (good idea),  can be

used in the  implementation of Maruti’s BP  where in the attachment-points can be fed to ‘net-gateway-create’

command, instead of giving physical-network switch names/ports.



So we request Kevin , Racha and others, to peruse Maruti’s BP and post comments/questions

on the same, more specifically from the resource representation perspective (REST APIs and CLIs).

Thanks,



Vivek

Thanks guys.



I think you've answered my initial question. Probably not in the way I was hoping it to be answered, but it's ok.



So now we have potentially 4 different blueprint describing more or less overlapping use cases that we need to reconcile into one?

If the above is correct, then I suggest we go back to the use case and make an effort to abstract a bit from thinking about how those use cases should be implemented.

Hello all,

Also, what about Kevin's https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87825/? One of its use cases is exactly the L2 gateway. These proposals could probably be inserted in a more generic work for moving existing datacenter L2 resources to Neutron.

Cheers,

Hi,

As far as I understood last friday afternoon dicussions during the
design summit, this use case is in the scope of another umbrella spec
which would define external connectivity for neutron networks. Details
of those connectivity would be defined through service plugin API.

Ian do you plan to define such an umbrella spec? or at least, could
you sum up the agreement of the design summit discussion in the ML?

I see at least 3 specs which would be under such an umbrella spec :
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/93329/ (BGPVPN)
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/101043/ (Inter DC connectivity with VPN)
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/134179/ (l2 gw aas)
