Yi, since am from India, the FwaaS at 11PM Wed is late for me.
Is it possible to have a meeting right after the l3 subteam meeting coming Thursday. This evaluates to 10AM PST Thursday. Swami, please let me know your availability as well. -- Thanks, Vivek From: Yi Sun [mailto:beyo...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 9:44 AM To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] DVR and FWaaS integration Vivek, I will try to join the DVR meeting. Since it conflicts with one of my other meeting (from my real job), I may join late or may not be able to join at all. If I missed it, please see if you can join FWaaS meeting at Wed 11:30AM PST on openstack-meeting-3. Otherwise, a separated meeting is still preferred Thanks Yi On 7/4/14, 12:23 AM, Narasimhan, Vivekanandan wrote: Hi Yi, Swami will be available from this week. Will it be possible for you to join the regular DVR Meeting (Wed 8AM PST) next week and we can slot that to discuss this. I see that FwaaS is of much value for E/W traffic (which has challenges), but for me it looks easier to implement the same in N/S with the current DVR architecture, but there might be less takers on that. -- Thanks, Vivek From: Yi Sun [mailto:beyo...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 11:50 AM To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org> Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] DVR and FWaaS integration The NS FW will be on a centralized node for sure. For the DVR + FWaaS solution is really for EW traffic. If you are interested on the topic, please propose your preferred meeting time and join the meeting so that we can discuss about it.

My proposal is to split the FWaaS into two parts: one part is for east-west FWaaS, this part could be done on DVR side, and make it become distributed manner. The other part is for north-south part, this part could be done on Network Node side, that means work in central manner. After the split, north-south FWaaS could be implemented by software or hardware, meanwhile, east-west FWaaS is better to implemented by software with its distribution nature.

I heard that Swami is traveling this week. So I guess the earliest time we can have a meeting is sometime next week. I will be out of town on monday, so any day after Monday should work for me. We can do either IRC, google hang out, GMT or even a face to face. For anyone interested, please propose your preferred time.

After the summit, I had one IRC meeting with DVR team. But after that meeting I was tight up with my work and did not get time to continue to follow up the issue. To not slow down the discussion, I'm forwarding out the email that I sent out as the follow up to the IRC meeting here, so that whoever may be interested on the topic can continue to discuss about it. > > First some background about the issue: > In the normal case, FW and router are running together inside the same box so that FW can get route and NAT information from the router component.

If we build FW on top of DVR, then FW functionality will be broken.

Vivek had more detail; He thinks that since the br-int knowns whether a packet is routed or switched, it is possible for the br-int to forward traffic to FW before it forwards to DVR. The whole forwarding process can be operated as part of service-chain operation. And there could be a FWaaS driver that understands the DVR configuration to setup OVS flows on the br-int. I'm not sure what this solution would look like. I'll have to get the details from Vivek. It seems like this would effectively centralize the traffic that we worked so hard to decentralize. It did cause me to wonder about something: would it be possible to reign the symmetry to the traffic by directing any response traffic back to the DVR component which handled the request traffic? I guess this would require running conntrack on the target side to track and identify return traffic. I'm not sure how this would be inserted into the data path yet. This is a half-baked idea here. > The concern is that normally firewall and router are integrated together so that firewall can make right decision based on the routing result. But what we are suggesting is to split the firewall and router into two separated components, hence there could be issues. For example, FW will not be able to get enough information to setup zone. Normally Zone contains a group of interfaces that can be used in the firewall policy to enforce the direction of the policy. If we forward traffic to firewall before DVR, then we can only create policy based on subnets not the interface. > Also, I’m not sure if we have ever planed to support SNAT on the DVR, but if we do, then it depends on at which point we forward traffic to the FW, the subnet may not even work for us anymore (even DNAT could have problem too). I agree that splitting the firewall from routing presents some problems that may be difficult to overcome. I don't know how it would be done while maintaining the benefits of DVR. Another half-baked idea: could multi-primary state replication be used between DVR components to enable firewall operation? Maybe work on the HA router blueprint -- which is long overdue to be merged Btw -- could be leveraged. The number of DVR "pieces" could easily far exceed that of active firewall components normally used in such a configuration so there could be a major scaling problem. I'm really just thinking out loud here. Maybe you (or others) have other ideas? > Another thing that I may have to get detail is that how we handle the overlap subnet, it seems that the new namespaces are required. Can you elaborate here?
