[neutron] Implementing BGP over network:routed for IPv6 in Neutron, with DVR capabilities
Hi, When these patches are approved: https://review.opendev.org/486450 https://review.opendev.org/669395 we will effectively have BGP announcing for floating IPs and router gateways, with a provider network as next BGP HOP. I tested in experimentally, and it does work. There's more work to be done on it to make it better (like, eliminating GARP requests and getting neutron-dynamic-routing to know when a floating moves from one segment to another), as seen in the commends of #669395, but it works. Now, I'd like to have the same feature for IPv6. Having a segmented IPv6 L2 network already works, though isn't this always going through the network nodes still? I see no reason why IPv6 would always go through network nodes, and I would like to eliminate this SPOF. Has anyone worked on this? Or is there anyone with some advice on how to start? Is there some blueprints somewhere? I'm not sure what this implies, and where to start my research on this. But I really would love, moving forward, to have such a feature. Would anyone (try to) contribute this with me? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
