Hi list,
I just read the presentation slides showcased in the Openstack Hongkong
summit, on “Openstack Neutron Modular Layer 2 Plugin Deep Dive”.
http://fr.slideshare.net/mestery/modular-layer-2-in-openstack-neutron
I have some questions, hope someone can help me.
Q1. P7 : there is a new feature “top of Rack switch control”, what is a
rack switch means ? Why ML2 can do top control of it ?
A networking device that typically lives at the top of a rack and
performs routing (i.e. it acts as the default gateway) for hardware
devices in that rack is called a "top of rack switch" or TOR [1]. When
the phrase "top of rack switch control" is used, it means that Neutron's
ML2 plugin can control that TOR switch directly via the switch's native
management interfaces.
Best,

Q2. P11: It said “Allows multiple mechanism drivers to access same
network simultaneously”, do we have some examples to explain this ?
Q3. P13, what steps should I do to achieve this kind of network ? Any
guide we have ?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.
