BaGPipe BGP component is indeed adapted to be run on compute nodes to 
encapsulate tenant traffic as MPLS traffic toward BGP IP VPNs external 
to the datacenter. In this case you are interconnecting each VM at once 
with a /32 VPNv4 route.  [A]

But you could use it as well on a network node to interconnect a whole 
virtual network with one BGP route. However doing so does not simplify 
deployments and requires additional care to handle redundancy.

And to implement virtual networks with BaGPipe, the proposed target 
would be to use it on compute nodes; but in that case MPLS is not the 
only option, and what we currently support is VXLAN (E-VPN with a VXLAN 
encapsulation).

As said in another comment, a tenant (or project depending on the 
terminology) is not a network construct; tenants just own networks.

In [A] above, for a virtual network interconnected with a VPN, there 
would be one VRF on each compute node with a VM connected to this 
virtual network.

(I'm not getting your question on having BGP as a full mesh in compute 
nodes)

I'm not sure I get your question.
When BaGPipe BGP is used on compute nodes to build a virtual network, NN 
don't need to be involved.  They only will be involved once a router 
port (on a NN) is connected to a virtual network.

Note also that in E-VPN there is no notion of pseudowire; E-VPN does not 
involve learning on incoming (MPLS- or VXLAN-) encapsulated traffic, and 
forwarding tables involve dynamically adding an encap header based on a 
static forwarding table (rather than tunnels or pseudowires).

When E-VPN is used, network traffic inside a virtual network is carried 
as Ethernet in VXLAN, MPLS or MPLS-over-GRE (note that today BaGPipe 
does not support any MPLS dataplane driver for E-VPN).  When IP VPN is 
used (eg. between virtual networks, or to/from an external IP VPN), 
traffic is carried as IP traffic in MPLS or MPLS-GRE.

Hope that helps,

It can be run as a service exposing a REST API, or a library inside an agent; it handles the lifecylcle of VRFs and port attached/detached from them and appropriately circulates event to/from BGP peers based on VRF import/export rules and RTC publish/subscribe semantics.  It's complete enough to let us build neutron virtual networks with IP VPNs, and interconnect them with external VPNs; the parts for Opentsack integration are not on this github, I'm just mentioning this for the sake of illustrating the relative maturity.
