In case you do not have/want to chat on gmail. I can give you a few hints.

1. Make sure ip forwarding is enabled.
'sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward'
2. Inside the router namespace check the iptable rules.
'ip netns exec qrouter-e3119ff4-2fac-4226-9e63-009cfce8ac4c iptables-save'
3. ping the router interface from the instance. Just to make sure that L2
connectivity is present.
4. Ensure that promiscous mode is set on all interfaces in the host
machine. The interfaces that have been added to br-ex, br-eth1 should all
be in promiscous mode. You can check it with 'ip link show <interface
name>'. Also the interfaces should be up.
'ip link set <interface_name> up promisc on'
5. Ensure that the physical connections between your network node and the
router is perfect.
6. Ensure that your external network is a flat network. If it is not a flat
network then the switch port connecting to the network node's port that has
been added to br-ex must be set to the vlan id corresponding to the
external network's segmentation id.


Good luck. ping me if anything I have listed is not clear, or you need more
information.

Thank you,
Akilesh K
