Open Stack

Hi,

Neutron stadium projects which has some additional communication and may use IPv6 for it:

- https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron-dynamic-routing - it has agent which communicates with neutron-server via RPC,
- https://opendev.org/openstack/networking-bagpipe - it uses some RPC communication with agent, but according to https://opendev.org/openstack/networking-bagpipe/src/branch/master/doc/source/user/design.rst it is just an extension to ovs/linuxbridge agent so in fact this communication is already tested in jobs defined in neutron repo; But there is also communication between e.g. bagpipe backend and other BGP neighbours,
- https://docs.openstack.org/networking-bgpvpn/latest/user/overview.html - it is also using RPC communication but it’s with OVS agent, so same as what “standard” neutron is doing; 
- https://opendev.org/openstack/networking-midonet - this one is communicating with midonet cluster and uses API for that, so it may be done by using IPv6 too. But I don’t know too much about this project so the best guy to ask will be probably Yamamoto :)
- https://opendev.org/openstack/networking-odl - similar to midonet plugin, so it is communicating with ODL using REST API, but probably the best guy to ask about it will be Lajos Katona as he is now maintainer of this project,
- https://opendev.org/openstack/networking-ovn - this one is communicating with ovsdb server to connect to SB and NB databases, and this can be done using IPv6 too AFAICT,

Other stadium projects are providing some extensions/drivers/plugins which integrates with neutron-server and/or existing neutron agents and are only extending existing communication channels used by default neutron resources so I don’t think we need to add any special jobs for them.
