<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the Icehouse summit design session we presented a DVR( Distributed Virtual Router) Proposal that was targeted only for “East-West” Communication and was based on a DVR datapath Kernel Driver.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed three different Use cases such as “East-West”, “North-South” and “East-West/North-South with Services”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The feedback that we received from the community was 50% of the audience requirement was for “North-South” and the other 50% was ok with the “East-West”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the action item was to work on “East-West” and if we have enough sub-team members then we can also address the “North-South”.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also there were concerns raised about the “Kernel Module” usage for the DVR Datapath.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on the feedback that we received and the community interest, we went back and re-designed the DVR to support both the East-West and North-South without the Kernel Module driver and just using the existing namespace support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And also will support the existing Services in a hybrid mode.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The updated blueprint is available for review as a google doc.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would appreciate if you could provide your valuable feedback on the proposal.
