Open Stack

+1

I believe the main point is not to confuse what we is need on the Hypervisor and networking but focus on what we need Openstack to support to be a robust and reliable system, for example most systems aim for 5 9's due to various requirements but what they really want to aim for us "predictable and deterministic systems".

I think to be fair to Kevins email, the focus should be that when we issue a port connection that we guanrantee its connected and we have a way to "validate that". 

Carrier grade is not just about system availability/uptime but also that we can ensure when a call for an object/resource is requested we can ensure its 99.999% of the time going to be handled and not dropped etc etc etc.

I think this comment applies equally to the other items listed. There seemed to be agreement at the BoF that one of our key tasks/challenges is to boil down such high level NFV requirements to create actionable feature requests/proposals in the context of OpenStack.

Thanks,
