Hello,

is it possible to run dvr_snat on computes only (in ha mode as well)? Docs [1]
tell that dvr_snat+l3_ha agents should be on controllers / network nodes while
dvr agents on computes. Does dvr part of dvr_snat only work in active/passive if
we do ha?

I wonder if compute nodes can be network ones as well without much overhead.
This way network nodes would go away from the setup.

SNAT is always a centralized component of Neutron, since there is a single default SNAT IP address that must be shared by all VMs for a tenant - that IP can't be in two places at once. Running in dvr_snat mode on computes will just make them all network nodes, which should be avoided since losing a compute then means you've lost more of your control plane. They are typically separate due to the differences in how they are managed - network nodes are more like pets, computes more like cattle.
