Big Switch - Convert L3 functions to L3 Service plugin
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/bsn-l3-service-plugin
|
|
|
|
Move the L3 functions from the Big Switch monolithic plugin to a separate L3
|
|
service plugin so the fabric can provide L3 functionality for ML2 or the Big
|
|
Switch Plugin from one common code base.
|
|
|
|
Problem description
|
|
===================
|
|
There is no way to use the Big Switch L3 features when using the Big Switch
|
|
ML2 driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proposed change
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Remove the L3 functions from the Big Switch core plugin and put them into an
|
|
L3 service plugin. This will allow the Big Switch backend to provide L3 service
|
|
when using the Big Switch plugin or the ML2 driver.

Work Items
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* Separate code into L3 service plugin module
|
|
* Re-organize BSN L3 tests into separate code from current unit test files
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This will be completed after the L3 offload functionality is done since that
|
|
will require more L3 factoring and is a higher priority.[1]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The current unit tests and 3rd party CI will cover this change since no
|
|
new features are being added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation Impact
|
|
====================
|
|
The service plugin will have to be referenced in the configuration guide for
|
|
the Big Switch plugin and the Big Switch ML2 agent.
