I had a discussion with Mike (cc'ed) about several possible solutions for the networks compatibility within the data-center. The first proposed solution would utilize the NetworkUpdateValidator, a validation utility that verifies the compatibility of a network to the data-center. This solution preserves the same behaviour as today, that the features of network-level are dictated by the DC version. No need to reimplement any logic in the decrease DC version flow, just use an existing one to be applied for any network within the DC. The second solution suggests we allow any settings of a network, and compatibility enforcement is done on attaching the network to the clusters. This modifies the existing behaviour and expands the capabilities of the engine to support advanced network feature in advanced cluster within an old data center (i.e. cluster 3.4 in 3.0 data-center could and probably should use non-vm network, jumbo-frames and more). This option requires more work in add/update network and attach network to cluster flows, both on the backend and UI. Specifically since by default a new network created in a DC is being attached to all of the clusters. Perhaps the second option deserves to be treated as RFE and not as a bug fix. Thoughts ?
