https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/providernet-ext-support-for-nuage-plugin
|
|
|
|
Adding provider-network extension support to existing nuage networks' Plugin
|
|
|
|
|
|
Problem description
|
|
===================
|
|
Current Nuage Plugin does not support Neutron's providernet extension.
|
|
Nuage's VSP supports this feature and the support for extension needs
|
|
to be added in the plugin code.
|
|
|
|
Proposed change
|
|
===============
|
|
Adding extension support code in Nuage plugin.

Implementation
|
|
==============
|
|
The provider extended attributes for networks enable administrative users to specify how
|
|
network objects map to the underlying networking infrastructure. This fits well with
|
|
Nuage's ability to map the overlay with the underlay provided option. There will not be a
|
|
significant change in the plugin behavior. When the network is created with provider
|
|
options enabled, segments information (id, physical_network, vlan_id) is passed to the
|
|
Nuage's backend and it will be acted upon. Backend will either accept it or will fail
|
|
the request and the response will be relayed back to the user. In case of a failure,
|
|
resource operation in neutron will also fail. In Juno, we want to keep the implementation
|
|
most basic.
