Hello, thanks for your reply. The segment id is the vlan id (in your example 101) ? My understanding is that some compute nodes in a rack are connected to a vlan, and other on another vlan. Then I can create a network (segmentation1) and scheduler put the vm on the compute node where vlan is present. So for users exists only segmentaion1 network and they do not know it is splitted in more vlans. Is it correct ?

Hi, I suppose you referenced this document: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/admin/config-routed-networks.html
In Neutron terminology segments appear on different layers, on the API a segment is a network type / seg. id / phys-net / net uuid tuple (see [1]). What is interesting here that this segment has to be a representation on the compute where l2-agent (ovs-agent) can know which segment is the one it can bind ports. That cfg option is in ml2_conf.ini, and bridge_mappings, where the admin/deployer can state which bridge (like br-ex) is connected to which provider network (out of Openstack's control). So for example a sample config in ml_conf.ini like this:
bridge_mappings = public:br-ex,physnet1:br0
Means that on that compute VM ports can be bound which has a network segment like this: ( network_type: vlan, physical_network: *physnet1*, segmentation_id: 101, network_id: 1234-56..) More computes can have the same bridge-physnet mapping, the deployer's responsibility is to have these connected to the same switch, whatever.

Hello All, I am reading documentation about routed provider network. It reports: " Routed provider networks imply that compute nodes reside on different segments. "
What does mean ? What is a segment it this case ? Thanks for helping me" Ignazio
