[Mooney, Sean K] the 2.6 branch now exists so it is probably ok to refer to
2.6 now. https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commits/branch-2.6
The release should be made ~ September 15th
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/797dad21566fecc60de3ce6f93c81ad55a61fe86/Documentation/release-process.md#release-scheduling
which will be before then next openstack release.
if you would like I can update the networking guide to refect the change in ovs.

Yup, I also thought about something like that.
I think I was at-least-slightly misguided by
http://docs.openstack.org/draft/networking-guide/adv-config-ovsfwdriver.html 
and there is currently a statement 
"The native OVS firewall implementation requires kernel and user space support 
for conntrack, thus requiring minimum versions of the Linux kernel and Open 
vSwitch. All cases require Open vSwitch version 2.5 or newer."

Do you agree that this is something to change? I think it is not OK to state 
OVS 2.6 without that being released, but in case I am not confusing then:
-OVS firewall driver with OVS that uses kernel datapath requires OVS 2.5 and 
Linux kernel 4.3
-OVS firewall driver with OVS that uses userspace datapath with DPDK (aka 
ovs-dpdk  aka DPDK vhost-user aka netdev datapath) doesn't have a Linux kernel 
prerequisite
That is documented in table in " ### Q: Are all features available with all 
datapaths?":
http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/FAQ.md.txt 
where currently 'Connection tracking' row says 'NO' for 'Userspace' - but 
that's exactly what has been merged recently /to become feature of OVS 2.6

Also when it comes to performance I came across 
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/071982.html, but I would guess 
that devil could be the exact flows/ct actions that will be present in 
real-life scenario.

[Mooney, Sean K] 
In ovs 2.5 only linux kernel conntrack was supported assuming you had a
4.x kernel that supported it. that means that the feature was not available on 
bsd,windows or with dpdk.

In the upcoming ovs 2.6 release conntrack support has been added to the 
Netdev datapath which is used with dpdk and on bsd. As far as I am aware 
windows conntrack support is still
Missing but I may be wrong.

If you are interested the devstack local.conf I used to test that it functioned 
is available here
http://paste.openstack.org/show/552434/

I used an OpenStack vm using the Ubuntu 16.04 and 2 e1000 interfaces to do the 
testing.

By 'recently' - whether you mean patch v4 
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/072700.html
or you used OVS 2.5 itself (which I think includes v2 of the same patch series)?

So in general - I am a bit confused about conntrack support in OVS.

OVS 2.5 release notes 
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/announce/2016-February/81.html state:
"This release includes the highly anticipated support for connection tracking 
in the Linux kernel.  This feature makes it possible to implement stateful 
firewalls and will be the basis for future stateful features such as NAT and 
load-balancing.  Work is underway to bring connection tracking to the userspace 
datapath (used by DPDK) and the port to Hyper-V."  - in the way that 'work is 
underway' (=work is ongoing) means that a time of OVS 2.5 release the feature 
was not 'classified' as ready?

Konstantin

[openstack-dev] [neutron][networking-ovs-dpdk] conntrack security group driver with ovs-dpdk

2016-08-06 Thread Mooney, Sean K
Hi just a quick fyi,
About 2 weeks ago I did some light testing with the conntrack security group 
driver and the newly
Merged upserspace conntrack support in ovs.

I can confirm that at least form my initial smoke tests where I
Uses netcat ping and ssh to try and establish connections between two vms the
Conntrack security group driver appears to function correctly with the 
userspace connection tracker.

We have not looked at any of the performance yet but assuming it is at an 
acceptable level I am planning to
Deprecate the learn action based driver in networking-ovs-dpdk and remove it 
once  we have cut the stable newton
Branch.

We hope to do some rfc 2544 throughput testing to evaluate the performance 
sometime mid-September.
Assuming all goes well I plan on enabling the conntrack based security group 
driver by default when the
Networking-ovs-dpdk devstack plugin is loaded. We will also evaluate enabling 
the security group tests
In our third party ci to ensure it continues to function correctly  with 
ovs-dpdk.

Regards
Seán
