hi,all:<div> I am confued about how security rules works ,i read the /nova/virt/libvirt/firewall.py and /nova/network/linux_net.py ,</div><div>my understanding is when create or change a security rule ,the process is as below.</div>
<div>reuqest to nova osapi->update db for the rule->call method trigger_security_group_rules_refresh()->rpc.cast to all reletave compute node.</div><div>->call refresh_security_group_rules(),it seems that refresh_security_group_rules get the rule from the db and use libvirt to define the rules.</div>
<div>but how iptables are invoked to create rules "like nova-compute-inst-22".</div><div><br></div><div>anther question is libvirt defines nova-base-filter which allow any packets out and drop all packets in ,but it does not used by the instance nwfilter.</div>
<div>the instance nwfilter only has no-mac-spoofing ,no-arp-spoofing,no-ip-spoofing ,and allow-dhcp-server filter.</div><div><br></div><div>if I misunderstand some thing ,please correct me ,thks .</div>
