Applications

Neutron BGPVPN Interconnection

Note

This application is distinct from the use of BaGPipe to realize Neutron networks with BGP E-VPNs. bagpipe driver for networking-bgpvpn supports both IPVPNs and E-VPNs, but does not rely on bagpipe ML2 mechanism driver to do so.

In this application, networking-bagpipe aims at proposing a lightweight implementation of the BGPVPN Interconnection service, designed to work with the ML2 openvswitch mechanism drivers (or as an alternative with the bagpipe ML2 mechanism driver).

When used along with the openvswitch ML2 mechanism driver, it involves the use of:

• bagpipe driver for the BGPVPN service plugin (in networking-bgpvpn package)

• bagpipe_bgpvpn extension for the Neutron compute node agent (in this package)

• BaGPipe-BGP lightweight BGP VPN implementation (in this package)

Example with OVS agent:

Work in progress and future applications

Work in progress:

• BaGPipe ML2 with openvswitch agent

Considered:

• networking-l2gw driver leveraging bagpipe-bgp running on a ToR

• L3 plugin for inter-subnet distributed routing
