Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. I still feel like there may be some overlap here.
Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary,
The new L2GW spec is [1] comes to enable inter-cloud connection to stretch the network between the local and the remote clouds using tunnels between border VTEP devices.
VTEP can be populated manually with remote MAC (optionally) IP entries.
BGP support is a bit orthogonal or may I say complementary.

Hi,
In the M cycle BGP support was added in tree. I have seen specs in the L2 GW project for this support too. Are we planning to consolidate the efforts? Will the BGP code be moved from the Neutron git to the L2-GW project? Will a new project be created?
Sorry, a little in the dark here and it would be nice if someone could please provide some clarity here. It would be a pity that there were competing efforts and my take would be that the Neutron code would be the single source of truth (until we decide otherwise).
I think that the L2-GW project would be a very good place for that service code to reside. It can also have MPLS etc. support. So it may be a natural fit.
Thanks
Gary
