[openstack-dev] [neutron] packet forwarding

In general, you'd need a router to pass from one VLAN to another, and that
is still true in OS. However, for your case where you have a VM running
some routing software, it's quite possible (likely) that the iptable rules
on the host machine are stopping your VM from forwarding out since the
source address of the packet is not that of the guest that it knows about.
