[neutron] unmanaged router resources - OVN interconnect

Hi Rodolfo,

Thanks for the feedback.

I liked the idea of having a different network type only to hold the
Transit Switches and thus the LRP but it depends on some factors like
multi-tenancy.
>From the OVN perspective, the TS is global and will only be linked to a
tenant when it is plugged into the tenant router port. My concern here is
that if Neutron manages the TS, it will need to assume the dynamic
characteristics of this TS function, ovn-ic creates and removes the TS in
NB_Global, in addition to plugging and removing ports in this switch
according to the network topology. Additionally, Neutron would still need
to handle the learned remote routes (which are listed as static routes from
the tenant router perspective).

This is an open discussion, Felix can add ideas here.

In general, it seems to me that we have no alternatives for this type of
solution other than OVN-IC (note that ovn-bgp-agent does not learn remote
routes at the SDN level / OVN).
OpenStack seems to be designed to run like a "bubble" and this traffic from
one VM to another always needs to be routed at the FIP level and external
routing layers.

Regards,
Roberto
