Version change
--------------

Compared to the Colorado release, a new version of ODL including
several critical bugfixes is deployed. Together with the new BGP
stack, integration with Apex, the Horizon dashboards and bugfixes the
user has even more features available. New testcases were added to
functest to guarantee functionality.

Module version changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ODL has been upgraded to Boron SR2.

Document changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reason for version
------------------

Feature additions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SDN VPN adds the possibility to create and associate BGP/MPLS based
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) through the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN
API extension.

A new installer based on Apex is provided.

The Horizon dashboard for the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN API extensions
is available.

Bug corrections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Several bugs in ODL VPN Service have been fixed in this release.

- Floating IP is now working and tested in functest, relevant Tempest
  tests have been enabled.

- Performance issues have been rectified and the relevant tests have
  been enabled again.

- Yardstick testcases have been enabled again.

Deliverables
------------

Software deliverables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fuel plugin for OpenStack BGPVPN
- Changes to ODL Fuel plugin to activate the NetVirt Karaf features
  and to apply the appropriate configuration. Also changes to
  implement integration with 6Wind Zrpcd and Quagga.
- Changes to Apex to enable a BGPVPN deployment.
- Integration of VPN Service functional tests and BGPVPN API tests into Functest framework.
- Enabling performance tests in Yardstick.
- Changes to 6Wind Zrpcd to enable integration with Apex.

Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
=========================================


System Limitations
------------------

Known issues
------------

Moving to the new NetVirt has caused a regression in which a subnet
cannot be both attached to a Router and Network associated to a VPN.
This has been worked around in the tests and the upstream bug is being
tracked [0].

OpenStack NAT does not work. Instances created in subnets that are connected to
the public network via a gateway should have external connectivity. This does
not work and can be worked around by assigning a Floating IP to the instance [1].

For Apex the peering with the virtual Peer is not working due to limitation
of apex networking.

Workarounds
-----------

The router/network association mutual exclusivity is worked around
by not network associating subnets attached to routers.

The NAT issues are worked around by assigning floating IPs to VMs that require
external connectivity.

Test results
============

The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many
times and all Functest tests (general and feature specific) are
passing.
