Hi,<br>
<br>
Is there anywhere a comprehensive document on how Quantum plug-in makes networking easier/better?<br>
As far as I know right now there are 2 big limitations concerning the network:<br>
1 - if you go with VlanManager you will hit the 4096 vlan number<br>
2 - if you go with flat you will end up with one huge and ugly broadcast domain<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi Nux, <div><br></div><div>One way for addressing both the limitations you mention above (VLAN limits, and requiring large physical broadcast domains) is to use a L2-in-L3 "overlay tunneling". Overlay tunneling provides isolation without using VLANs, and allows VMs to communicate at L2 even when the computes nodes they are on are not on the same physical L2 network. In the Folsom release of Quantum, both the OVS plugin and Nicira NVP plugin include support for this type of overlay tunneling. </div>

Suggestions? I'm running Folsom.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
