The following patch series supports physical endpoints and their binding to logical ports. Physical endpoints are defined here as endpoints at the border of a physical network. This presently applies to localnet and gateways.
For localnet physical endpoints, chassis name and chassis port can be supplied as dummy arguments or omitted. If chassis and port are omitted, the same encapsulation on all HVs part of a given localnet is implied and a single logical port should be used. Then the physical endpoint is bound to the localnet logical port. If multiple encapsulations are needed, multiple physical endpoints would be defined and bound to separate localnet logical ports. If no physical endpt is bound to a localnet, encap is assumed empty. Note that physical location information for localnet ports can also serve just for administrative purposes as well. Note, there is no cleanup of northbound schema doc regarding tagging for localnet, which is included under Container tagging, which is an error. Cleanup will be done a separate patch to track this error better. For gateways, a single physical endpoint must be bound to each logical port. The chassis name must match the chassis system-id. All 6 arguments should be supplied for gateway physical endpoints configuration. The localnet test is updated to use physical endpoints The SB schema version is not updated since OVN upgrade is not applicable yet. The next patch series will bring in software gateway changes which will also use physical endpoints. Some aspects of the gateway code are included here for illustrative purposes regarding physical endpoints. A new test will be added for software gateways in the next patch that also exercises physical endpoints.
