* This patch adds support for the virtio-forwarder VNIC type. * The virtio-forwarder VNIC type has been added as another option for setting the --vnic-type property on the "port set" and "port create" commands. This requests a low-latency virtio port inside the instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the Agilio OVS external plugin provides support for this, with support from other vendors following soon. * Corresponding neutron-lib change: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/483530/ * Nova spec for Agilio OVS enablement: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/pike/approved/netronome-smartnic-enablement.html Change-Id: Idbc8071afe95f8594b40e2f93e5411e7185f946f Signed-off-by: Jan Gutter <jan.gutter@netronome.com>

The ``virtio-forwarder`` VNIC type has been added as another option for
|
|
setting the ``--vnic-type`` property on the ``port set`` and
|
|
``port create`` commands. This requests a low-latency virtio port inside
|
|
the instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the
|
|
Agilio OVS external plugin provides support for this, with support from
|
|
other vendors following soon.
