[openstack-dev] [Neutron] L2 Gateway discussion

I was at Maruti's presentation and it was very interesting. I have
developed a similar PoC so I got even more interested.

The main difference between them, from my understanding during the
presentation, is that my PoC tries to encompass very heteogeneous kinds of
networking equipment. Say, making use of an old old switch from some
vendor, or a different equipment that doesn't even use VLANs.

This is possible due to a pluggable architecture that makes it possible to
develop complete drivers to deal with any network switch/router and
L2-extend their physical/legacy networks towards Neutron (and vice-versa).
One of the drivers I have developed is for OpenWrt, which also allows
instantiating wireless SSIDs remotely (via Neutron) and map them to
specific Neutron networks.

I would like to join you tomorrow. Unfortunately, by that time, I will be
heading back to my home country. Nevertheless, I will be staying on par, as
soon as I get reconnected.

Cheers,
