 As discussed during the neutron-drivers meeting this week [1], we've

 lightning talks. The basic idea is we will have 6 lightning talks,
 each 5 minutes long. We will force a 5 minute hard limit here. We'll
 do the lightning talk round first thing Thursday morning.
 
 To submit a lightning talk, please add it to the etherpad linked here
 [2]. I'll be collecting ideas until after the Neutron meeting on
 Monday, 10-27-2014. At that point, I'll take all the ideas and add
 them into a Survey Monkey form and we'll vote for which talks people
 want to see. The top 6 talks will get a lightning talk slot.
 
 I'm hoping the lightning talks allow people to discuss some ideas
 which didn't get summit time, and allow for even new contributors to
 discuss their ideas face to face with folks.
 As discussed in the weekly Neutron meeting, I've setup a Survey Monkey
 to determine which 6 talks will get a slot for the Neutron Lightning
 Talk track at the Design Summit. Please go here [1] and vote. I'll
 collect results until Thursday around 2300UTC or so, and then close
 the poll and the top 6 choices will get a 5 minute lightning talk.
 Thanks to all who voted for Lightning Talks! I've updated the etherpad
 [100] with the list of talks which got the most votes. I'm also
 copying them here for people who don't like clicking on links:
 
 MPLS VPN - Orchestrating inter-datacenter connectivity - [Mohammad Hanif]
 IPv6 as an Openstack network infrastructure - ijw (Ian Wells)
 L2GW support - abstraction and reference implementation for extending

Re: [openstack-dev] [tc][neutron] Proposal to split Neutron into separate repositories

2014-11-18 Thread Mohammad Hanif
I agree with Paul as advanced services go beyond just L4-L7.  Today, VPNaaS 
deals with L3 connectivity but belongs in advanced services.  Where does 
Edge-VPN work belong?  We need a broader definition for advanced services area.

Mark, Kyle,

What is the strategy for tracking the progress and all the details about this 
initiative? Blueprint spec, wiki page, or something else?

One thing I personally found useful about the spec approach adopted in [1], was 
that we could quickly and effectively incorporate community feedback; having 
said that I am not sure that the same approach makes sense here, hence the 
question.

Also, what happens for experimental efforts that are neither L2-3 nor L4-7 
(e.g. TaaS or NFV related ones?), but they may still benefit from this 
decomposition (as it promotes better separation of responsibilities)? Where 
would they live? I am not sure we made any particular progress of the incubator 
project idea that was floated a while back.

Would it make sense to define the advanced services repo as being for services 
that are beyond basic connectivity and routing? For example, VPN can be L2 and 
L3. Seems like restricting to L4-L7 may cause some confusion as to what’s in 
and what’s out.

 so the specs repository would continue to be shared during the Kilo cycle.

One of the reasons to split is that these two teams have different priorities

All-

Over the last several months, the members of the Networking Program have been 
discussing ways to improve the management of our program.  When the Quantum 
project was initially launched, we envisioned a combined service that included 
all things network related.  This vision served us well in the early days as 
the team mostly focused on building out layers 2 and 3; however, we’ve run into 
growth challenges as the project started building out layers 4 through 7.  
Initially, we thought that development would float across all layers of the 
networking stack, but the reality is that the development concentrates around 
either layer 2 and 3 or layers 4 through 7.  In the last few cycles, we’ve also 
discovered that these concentrations have different velocities and a single 
core team forces one to match the other to the detriment of the one forced to 
slow down.

Going forward we want to divide the Neutron repository into two separate 
repositories lead by a common Networking PTL.  The current mission of the 
program will remain unchanged [1].  The split would be as follows:

Neutron (Layer 2 and 3)
- Provides REST service and technology agnostic abstractions for layer 2 and 
layer 3 services.

Neutron Advanced Services Library (Layers 4 through 7)
- A python library which is co-released with Neutron
- The advance service library provides controllers that can be configured to 
manage the abstractions for layer 4 through 7 services.

Mechanics of the split:
- Both repositories are members of the same program, so the specs repository 
would continue to be shared during the Kilo cycle.  The PTL and the drivers 
team will retain approval responsibilities they now share.
- The split would occur around Kilo-1 (subject to coordination of the Infra and 
Networking teams). The timing is designed to enable the proposed REST changes 
to land around the time of the December development sprint.
- The core team for each repository will be determined and proposed by Kyle 
Mestery for approval by the current core team.
- The Neutron Server and the Neutron Adv Services Library would be co-gated to 
ensure that incompatibilities are not introduced.
- The Advance Service Library would be an optional dependency of Neutron, so 
integrated cross-project checks would not be required to enable it during 
testing.

[openstack-dev] [Neutron] Edge-VPN and Edge-Id

2014-11-27 Thread Mohammad Hanif
Folks,

Recently, as part of the L2 gateway thread, there was some discussion on 
BGP/MPLS/Edge VPN and how to bridge any overlay networks to the neutron 
network.  Just to update everyone in the community, Ian and I have separately 
submitted specs which make an attempt to address the cloud edge connectivity.  
Below are the links describing it:

Edge-Id: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/136555/
Edge-VPN: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/136929 .  This is a resubmit of 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/101043/ for the kilo release under the “Edge 
VPN” title.  “Inter-datacenter connectivity orchestration” was just too long 
and just too generic of a title to continue discussing about :-(

I had discussions with some of you (who are active on this mailing lis) on edge 
VPN connectivity during the Paris summit and also went over it during the 
Neutron lightning talks session.  Please take the time to see if you can review 
the above mentioned specs and provide your valuable comments.

For those of you in US, have a happy Thanksgiving holidays!

Thanks,
—Hanif.

Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron] Edge-VPN and Edge-Id

2014-12-01 Thread Mohammad Hanif
I hope we all understand how edge VPN works and what interactions are 
introduced as part of this spec.  I see references to neutron-network mapping 
to the tunnel which is not at all case and the edge-VPN spec doesn’t propose 
it.  At a very high level, there are two main concepts:

  1.  Creation of a per tenant VPN “service” on a PE (physical router) which 
has a connectivity to other PEs using some tunnel (not known to tenant or 
tenant-facing).  An attachment circuit for this VPN service is also created 
which carries a “list of tenant networks (the list is initially empty) .
  2.  Tenant “updates” the list of tenant networks in the attachment circuit 
which essentially allows the VPN “service” to add or remove the network from 
being part of that VPN.

A service plugin implements what is described in (1) and provides an API which 
is called by what is described in (2).  The Neutron driver only “updates” the 
attachment circuit using an API (attachment circuit is also part of the service 
plugin’ data model).   I don’t see where we are introducing large data model 
changes to Neutron?  How else one introduces a network service in OpenStack if 
it is not through a service plugin?  As we can see, tenant needs to communicate 
(explicit or otherwise) to add/remove its networks to/from the VPN.  There has 
to be a channel and the APIs to achieve this.

Thanks,
—Hanif.

This is an alternative that would say : you want an advanced service
for your VM, please stretch your l2 network to this external
component, that is driven by an external controller, and make your
traffic goes to this component to take benefit of this advanced
service. This is a valid alternative of course, but distributing the
service directly to each compute node is much more valuable, ASA it is
doable.

Right, so a lot rides on the interpretation of 'advanced service' here, and 
also 'attachment'.

Firstly, the difference between this and the 'advanced services' (including the 
L3 functionality, though it's not generally considered an 'advanced service') 
is that advanced services that exist today attach via an addressed port.  This 
bridges in.  That's quite a signifcant difference, which is to an extent why 
I've avoided lumping the two together and haven't called this an advanced 
service itself, although it's clearly similar.

Secondly, 'attachment' has historically meant a connection to that port.  But 
in DVRs, it can be a multipoint connection to the network - manifested on 
several hosts - all through the auspices of a single port.  In the edge-id 
proposal you'll note that I've carefully avoided defining what an attachment 
is, largely because I have a natural tendency to want to see the interface at 
the API level before I worry about the backend, I admit.  Your point about 
distributed services is well taken, and I think would be addressed by one of 
these distributed attachment types.

 So the issue I worry about here is that if we start down the path of adding
 the MPLS datamodels to Neutron we have to add Kevin's switch control work.
 And the L2VPN descriptions for GRE, L2TPv3, VxLAN, and EVPN.  And whatever
 else comes along.  And we get back to 'that's a lot of big changes that
 aren't interesting to 90% of Neutron users' - difficult to get in and a lot
 of overhead to maintain for the majority of Neutron developers who don't
 want or need it.

This shouldn't be a lot of big changes, once interfaces between
advanced services and neutron core services will be cleaner.

Well, incorporating a lot of models into Neutron *is*, clearly, quite a bit of 
change, for starters.

The edge-id concept says 'the data models live outside neutron in a separate 
system' and there, yes, absolutely, this proposes a clean model for 
edge/Neutron separation in the way you're alluding to with advanced services.  
I think your primary complaint is that it doesn't define that interface for an 
OVS driver based system.

The edge-vpn concept says 'the data models exists within neutron in an 
integrated fashion' and, if you agree that separation is the way to go, this 
seems to me to be exactly the wrong approach to be using.  It's the way 
advanced services are working - for now - but that's because we believe it 
would be hard to pull them out because the interfaces between service and 
Neutron don't currently exist.  The argument for this seems to be 'we should 
incorporate it so that we can

Hi,

I'm fine with C) and 1600 UTC would be more adapted for EU time Zone :)

However, I Agree that neutron-vpnaas meetings was mainly focus on maintaining 
the current IPSec implementation, by managing the slip out, adding StrongSwan 
support and adding functional tests.
Maybe we will get a broader audience once we will speak about adding new use 
cases such as edge-vpn.
Edge-vpn use cases overlap with the Telco WG VPN use case [1]. May be those
