[openstack-dev] [neutron] one SDN controller and many OpenStack environments

[Piotr Misiak]

Hi,

Do you know if there is a possibility to manage tenants networks in many
OpenStack environments by one SDN controller (via Neutron plugin)?

Suppose I have in one DC two or three OpenStack env's (deployed for
example by Fuel) and I have a SDN controller which manages all switches
in DC. Can I connect all those OpenStack env's to the SDN controller
using plugin for Neutron? I'm curious what will happen if there will be
for example the same MAC address in two OpenStack env's?
Maybe I should not connect those OpenStack env's to the SDN controller
and use a standard OVS configuration?

Which SDN controller would you recommend? I'm researching these currently:
- OpenDaylight
- Floodlight
- Ryu

Thanks,
Piotr Misiak

Please ask this question on openstack-ops, where a lot of operators
convene and can probably share experiences with the SDN controllers you
listed. 

My gut says that an SDN controller is expected to handle multiple regions and 
large
topologies, but I can't comment on if any SDN solution handles this
case, with any authority. I would imagine so - but you'd have better
luck on the ops list for specific controllers

Hi Piotr,

Nuage Networks is supporting the use case you describe and this is actually
deployed at operators.

Thanks,

Kris
