Open Stack

Hi Vikram,

I am very interested in this, however can't do everything for free!

I believe that bird would be a better fit than Zebra/Quagga, as it is
just 2 processes to be launched in a network namespace.  Also they are
very accessible/reloadable via the birdc/birdc6 control binaries that
lends itself to be called from python.

Could let you let me know if Huawei are interested in financially
supporting this please? 

It is doable, and would be useful for smaller deployments.  It can be
made part of the new ML3 that is proposed.

Looking forward to your answer!

Best Regards,

Matt Grant

There are practical use cases for such a thing in smaller deployments.

The AMPQ connection back to the neutron-server is via the upstream interface and is secured via transport mode IPSEC (just easier than bothering with https/SSL).
