<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think this work falls into the "service VM" category.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">openwrt unlike other service VMs used for networking services (like cloudstack's router vm) is very lightweight, and it's fairly easy to provision such VMs on the fly. It should be easy also to integrate with a ML2 control plane or even
with other plugins.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a decent alternative to the l3 agent. Possibly to the dhcp agent as well. As I see this as an alternative to part of the "reference" control plane, I expect it to provide its own metadata proxy. The only change in neutron would be
some sort of configurability in the metadata proxy launcher (assuming you do not provide DHCP as well via openwrt, in which case the problem would not exist, probably).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's not my call about whether this should live in neutron or not. My vote is not - simply because I believe that neutron is not a control plane, and everything that is control plane or integration with it should live outside of neutron,
including our agents.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, I don't really see what the 'aaS' part of this. You're not exposing anything "as a service" specific to openwrt, are you?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
<br>
I agree. IMHO it should be maybe something like *aaS deployed on VM. I<br>
think that Octavia is something like that for LBaaS now.<br>
Maybe it could be something like "RouteraaS" which will provide all such<br>
functions in VM?<br>
