Howdy Stackers! We are developing a new open source Network Functions Virtualization driver for Neutron. I am writing to you now to ask for early advice that could help us to smoothly bring this work upstream into OpenStack Juno.
The background is that we are open source developers working to satisfy the NFV requirements of large service provider networks including Deutsche Telekom's TeraStream project [1] [2]. We are developing a complete NFV stack for this purpose: from the DPDK-like traffic plane all the way up to the Neutron ML2 driver. We are developing against Havana, we attended the Icehouse summit and had a lot of great discussions in Hong Kong, and our ambition is to start bringing running code upstream into Juno. Our work is 100% open source and we want to work in the open with the wider OpenStack community. Currently we are in "heads-down hacking mode" on the core functionality, but it would be wonderful to connect with the upstream communities who we hope to be working with more in the future (that's you guys).
