Hi everyone, Thanks to those who joined our meeting yesterday! For those who couldn't make it or who wish to review what was discussed here's a link to the meeting recording:
https://youtu.be/D1MJT1rLUSs A summary of what was discussed and some follow up notes: 1. OVN 26.03 will be marked as LTS 2. EVPN support development updates and follow ups; Han brought up two things: a. L3 EVPN with ECMP routes that are configured in the kernel with RTA_NH_ID (instead having explicit nexthop specification through RTA_MULTIPATH/RTA_GATEWAY): - on a closer look it seems that the OVS route parsing code in route-table.c doesn't cover this use case - we might have to add support for that in OVS and then combine it with the nexthop tracking module that OVN supports on the main branch b. vxlan’s underlay routes if they are also learned through BGP (can also be ECMP); i.e., VTEP IP fdb entries with "dst" set to a nexthop group instead of a single IP address: - this is also not currently supported in OVN - however, leveraging the nexthop tracking module in OVN should make it possible to implement the missing support in the future Han, would you happen to have time to look into these two new development tasks? 3. Vladislav brought up a proposal to add OVN support to aggregate announced routes. 4. Numan brought up a proposal for supporting OVN dynamic routing with DVR (distributed routers with floating IPs). 5. I brought up a proposal for supporting "VRF-aware" logical routers but upon discussion during the meeting, using Ilya's suggestion of combining a new logical router with router policies that pkt.mark the packets might provide everything we need already. I'll investigate further and discuss this with the users (ovn-k). 6. Matteo shared an update on his pending OVS series to expose the peer_ifindex for Linux veths added as OVS interfaces. Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dG4GwcYOSs4uArPGtOoaP5tH4KCto-GH_C3tIXSnZZ8/ For our next meeting, I scheduled it ~6 weeks from now on: Monday, June 22nd, 2026, 3PM UTC Thanks again for joining!
