<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">That spec ensures that you can tell what the plugin is doing. You can ask for a VLAN transparent network, but the cloud may tell you it can't make one.<br>
<br>
The OVS driver in Openstack drops VLAN tagged packets, I'm afraid, and the spec you're referring to doesn't change that. The spec does ensure that if you try and create a VLAN trunk on a cloud that uses the OVS driver, you'll be told you can't. in the future,
the OVS driver can be fixed, but that's how things stand at present. Fixing the OVS driver really involves getting in at the OVS flow level - can be done, but we started with the basics.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to use a VLAN trunk using the current code, I recommend VXLAN or GRE along with the Linuxbridge driver, both of which support VLAN transparent networking. If they're configured and you ask for a VLAN trunk you'll be told you
got one.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all:<br>
<br>
in reference to the following specification about the creation of VLAN trunking network for NFV<br>
<br>
<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/136554/3/specs/kilo/nfv-vlan-trunks.rst" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/136554/3/specs/kilo/nfv-vlan-trunks.rst</a><br>
<br>
I would like to better understand how the tagged traffic will be realized. In order to explain myself, I report the following use case:<br>
<br>
A VNF is deployed in one VM, which has a trunk port carrying traffic for two VLANs over a single link able to transport more than one VLAN through a single integration-bridge (br-int) port. So, How does br-int manage the VLAN-ID? In other words, what are the
action performed by the br-int when a VM forwards traffic to another host?<br>
Does it put an additional tag or replace the existing one keeping the match with a table or something like that?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
<br>
Daniele<br>
