Great!
Looking forward to seeing more of this discussion. I've mentioned that I
submitted a blueprint request extending ExtraRoute extension to include more
routing attributes. It's located here:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/extended-route-params/ and it
contains editable google doc. I don't know if it is of much use as it talks
heavily about extra route extension. Please feel free to copy any part if you
would find it useful (e.g. screenshot) or if you would appreciate any help with
your blueprint I'd be very glad to pitch in.
Have a good weekend.
Sincerely,
Artem Dmytrenko

Hi Artem
Thank you for your pointing out this.
I'm still thinking about the design. Once I got the draft, I'll share
it in the bp and here..

Hi Rudra, Nachi.
Glad to see this discussion on the mailing list! The ExtraRoute routes are
fairly
limited and it would be great to be able to store more complete routing
information in Neutron. I've submitted a blueprint proposing expanding
ExtraRoute
parameters to include more information (extended-route-params). But it still
has a problem where routes are stored in a list and are not indexed. So an
update
could be painful.
Could you share what attributes would you like to see in your RIB API?
Thanks!
Artem
P.S.
I'm OpenStack newbie, looking forward to learning from and working with
you!
Hi Rudra
ExtraRoute bp was designed for adding some extra routing for the router.
The spec is very handy for simple and small use cases.
However it won't fit large use cases, because it takes all route in a Json
List.
# It means we need to send full route for updating.
As Salvatore suggests, we need to keep backward compatibility.
so, IMO, we should create Routing table extension.
I'm thinking about this in the context of L3VPN (MPLS) extension.
My Idea is to have a RIB API in the Neutron.
For vpnv4 routes it may have RT or RDs.
