Thanks Carl, for pitching in for us.

As Carl said, this is the last detail that is being worked out.

Wuhogning,

I am requesting Rajeev and Mike(CC'ed) who are working in DVR SNAT
to post the document into to the blueprint link here, so that you
can take a look.

Thanks,

Vivek

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron] Default routes to SNAT gateway in DVR

Hi,

I found this message in my backlog from when I was at the summit.
Sorry for the delay in responding.

The "default SNAT" or "dynamic SNAT" use case is one of the last
details being worked in the DVR subteam.  That may be why you do not
see any code around this in the patches that have been submitted.
Outbound traffic that will use this SNAT address will first enter the
IR on the compute host.  In the IR, it will not match against any of
the static SNAT addresses for floating IPs.  At that point the packet
will be redirected to another port belonging to the central component
of the DVR.  This port has an IP address  different from the default
gateway address (e.g. 192.168.1.2 instead of 192.168.1.1).  At this
point, the packet will go back out to br-int and but tunneled over to
the network node just like any other intra-network traffic.

Once the packet hits the central component of the DVR on the network
node it will be processed very much like default SNAT traffic is
processed in the current Neutron implementation.  Another
"interconnect subnet" should not be needed here and would be overkill.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Carl
