<div dir="ltr">Hello Everyone,
<div><br></div><div>We are just back from a week in China where we met with various local community</div><div>members to discuss about Dragonflow roadmap and design.</div><div>We will have a nice number of people from different companies joining us on the development</div><div>of Dragonflow and some are planning to deploy it.</div><div><br></div><div>We discussed the following areas which we are going to tackle by April:</div><div><br></div><div>1. <u>Neutron-DF DB Consistency</u> - This is a problem that most plugins / other controllers have </div><div> today, how to make sure that the Neutron DB is fully synced with the plugin/solution DB/view of </div><div> things.<br></div><div> This problem has many parts into it and i think we came up with a pretty good plan for it, I will </div><div> write about it once the design is in review.</div><div><br></div><div>2. <u>Selective Proactive - </u> Dragonflow has local controller at each compute node, but these </div><div> controllers don't need to know the entire virtual topology, the idea to sync only relevant </div><div> information based on the local ports and actual topology, we are going to have this by</div><div> end of April.</div><div><br></div><div>3. <u>Pub/Sub mechanism</u> - This design is in review process [1] , hope to get your comments</div><div><br></div><div>4. <u>Scale Testing</u> - We received a lab and HW equipment to perform real scale testing, we will</div><div> publish the results once we have them, we are going to focus on data plane performance /</div><div> control plane and DB </div><div><br></div><div>5. <u>Distributed DNAT</u> - We already have spec for this merged [2], this is going to be implemented</div><div> as part of Mitaka using OVS flows only.</div><div><br></div><div>6. <u>Broadcast/Multicast traffic</u> - This is a pain full problem as discussed also in this mailing list, we</div><div> have a nice idea how to solve this in Dragonflow and plan to publish a spec for this soon.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to join our IRC channel #openstack-dragonflow or our weekly IRC meeting [3]</div><div>Or send back any questions you might have </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Gal.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/263733/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/263733/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/dragonflow/specs/distributed_dnat.html">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/dragonflow/specs/distributed_dnat.html</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Dragonflow">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Dragonflow</a></div></div>
