OVN itself does support two types of L2 gateways. 1) hardware_vtep based gateways. We do have this exposed through networking-ovn, but only via an undocumented custom binding:profile. The intention was to eventually support the networking-l2gw API, but it hasn't been prioritized. https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-ovn/+bug/1457569 2) Software based L2 gateways. You can configure OVN to use any host as an L2 gateway. We haven't looked at Neutron integration of this at all. Perhaps it maps into the networking-l2gw API as well, though? I'm happy to provide pointers if anyone is interested in working in this area. -- Russell Bryant
