Open Stack

One more thing...

I'm thinking about the "use case" for "Floating IPs" in a NAT-less IPv6
OpenStack environment.


I can think in two "use cases" in a IPv6-Only Tenant Subnet:

1- the Floating IP might be used to allocate more IPv6 address for an
Instance (since there is no plans for NAT66, I believe it is not desired)
but, instead of allocating it from the "allocation pool", get it from the
tenant subnet directly. This way, the "IPv6 Floating IP" will appear within
the Instance it self, not at the L3 Namespace Router as it is with IPv4
today.

2- we can provide a IPv4 Floating IP address (for a IPv6-Only tenant) and
the L3 Namespace Router will do the NAT46. This way, the "old Internet"
will be able to seamless reach a IPv6-Only network.


What do you guys have in mind / roadmap?!

Cheers!
Thiago
