</div>A modular layer 3 (ML3) analogous to ML2 sounds like a good idea. I still<br>
think it's too late in the game to be shooting down all the work that the<br>
GBP team has put in unless there's a really clean and effective way of<br>
running AND iterating on GBP in conjunction with Neutron without being<br>
part of the Juno release. As far as I can tell they've worked really<br>
hard to follow the process and accommodate input. They shouldn't have<br>
to wait multiple more releases on a hypothetical refactoring of how L3+ vs<br>
L2 is structured.<br>
<br>
But, just so I'm not making a horrible mistake, can someone reassure me<br>
that GBP isn't removing the constructs of network/subnet/port from Neutron?<br>
<br>
I'm under the impression that GBP is adding a higher level abstraction<br>
but that it's not ripping basic constructs like network/subnet/port out<br>
of the existing API. If I'm wrong about that I'll have to change my<br>
opinion. We need those fundamental networking constructs to be present<br>
and accessible to users that want/need to deal with them. I'm viewing<br>
GBP as just a higher level abstraction over the top.<br>
