Thanks for the pointers Xu, we will give it a try in our testbed and let you 
know.

Thanks,

Edgar

Yes, one solution is to modify the iptables driver, so that you don't SNAT for 
internal subnets...

So, at the beginning of the nova-network-floating-snat rules, you add something 
like this:
-A nova-network-floating-snat -s 10.0.0.0/24<http://10.0.0.0/24> -d 
10.0.0.0/24<http://10.0.0.0/24> -j ACCEPT
...
-A nova-network-floating-snat -s 10.0.88.16/32<http://10.0.88.16/32> -j SNAT 
--to-source pub1
-A nova-network-floating-snat -s 10.0.16.7/32<http://10.0.16.7/32> -j SNAT 
--to-source pub2
-A nova-network-floating-snat -s 10.0.4.11/32<http://10.0.4.11/32> -j SNAT 
--to-source pub3

Then it should solve the unnecessary NATting issue...

I can confirm that the VM traffic is undergoing NAT with using its floating IP 
on the private interface of the nova-compute node when it tries to reach the 
private address of the VMs belonging to the same tenant and on other compute 
nodes. That obviously is breaking internal connectivity....

There was an issue that we saw in an earlier nova-network...

Due to multi_host configuration, the nova-network runs on every nova-compute 
node. Therefore the floating IP assignment happens on the compute nodes 
directly. So between two VMs within the same tenant on different hosts, 
private->public SNAT happens unnecessarily.

Not sure if this is fixed in Essex...

Folks,

We are using Essex for our multi-host OpenStack deployment with Vlan Manager.
All the private IPs are working as expected in a multi-tenant scenario but the 
problem that we are seen is with Floating IPs.

We have three tenants,  all of them are able to use  Floating IPs and then VMs 
are reachable from the public network but the inter VMs connectivity by private 
IPs is totally lost. Once we dissociate the Floating IPs to the corresponding 
VMs, the connectivity is back. The odd part is that we are seeing this behavior 
in just two of the three tenants that we have tested so far.

Is anyone aware of any bug or misconfiguration in Nova-network that could 
explain this behavior? We will be running more tests and we can provide 
detailed information of our environment if needed.

Thanks for your help,

Edgar
