-Scenario: "OpenStack - OpenDaylight (Layer 3) - FD.io"
-======================================================
-
-Scenario: apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha
-
-"apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha" is a scenario developed as part of the
-FastDataStacks OPNFV project. The main components of the
-"apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha" scenario are:
-
- - APEX (TripleO) installer (please also see APEX installer documentation)
- - Openstack (in non-HA configuration)
- - OpenDaylight controller controlling layer 2 and layer 3 networking
- - FD.io/VPP virtual forwarder for tenant networking
-
-Scenario Overview
-==================
-
-Basics
-------
-
-The "Openstack - OpenDaylight - FD.io/VPP" scenario provides the capability to
-realize a set of use-cases relevant to the deployment of NFV nodes instantiated
-by means of an Openstack orchestration system on FD.io/VPP enabled compute
-nodes. The role of the Opendaylight network controller in this integration is
-twofold. It provides a network device configuration and topology abstraction
-via the Openstack Neutron interface, while providing the capability to realize
-more complex network policies by means of Group Based Policies. Furthermore it
-also provides the capabilities to monitor as well as visualize the operation of
-the virtual network devices and their topologies. In supporting the general
-use-case of instantiatiting an NFV instance, two specific types of network
-transport use cases are realized:
-
- * NFV instances with VPP data-plane forwarding using a VLAN provider network
- * NFV instances with VPP data-plane forwarding using a VXLAN overlay
- transport network
-
-A deployment of the "apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha" scenario consists of 4 or more
-servers:
-
- * 1 Jumphost hosting the APEX installer - running the Undercloud
- * 1 Controlhost, which runs the Overcloud as well as
- OpenDaylight as a network controller
- * 2 or more Computehosts
-

-
-Tenant and public networking leverages FD.io/VPP. VPP binds to both, the tenant
-networking interface as well as to the public networking interface on the
-compute and control nodes. The OpenDaylight network controller is used to setup
-and manage layer 2 and layer 3 networking for the scenario - with Group Based
-Policy (GBP) being the key component. Tenant networking can either leverage
-VXLAN (in which case a full mesh of VXLAN tunnels is created) or VLANs. Layer 3
-connectivity is provided by using VPP as a "distributed virtual router".
-
-The picture below gives an example for distributed routing using VRFs between
-tenant networks.

-
-Features of the scenario
-------------------------
-
-Main features of the "apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha" scenario:
-
- * Automated installation using the APEX installer
- * Fast and scalable tenant networking using FD.io/VPP as forwarder
- * Layer 2 networking using VLANs or VXLAN, managed
- and controlled through OpenDaylight
- * Layer 3 connectivitiy for tenant networks supplied in a distributed way
- through FD.io/VPP. Layer 3 features, including security groups as well as
- floating IP addresses (i.e. NAT) are implemented by the FD.io/VPP forwarder
- * Manual and automatic (via DHCP) addressing on tenant networks
-
-Software components of the scenario
----------------------------------------
-
-The apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha scenario combines components from three key open
-source projects: OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and Fast Data (FD.io). The key
-components that realize the apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha scenario and which differ
-from a regular, OVS-based scenario, are the OpenStack ML2 OpenDaylight plugin,
-OpenDaylight Neutron Northbound, OpenDaylight Group Based Policy, OpenDaylight
-Virtual Bridge Domain Manager, FD.io Honeycomb management agent and FD.io
-Vector Packet Processor (VPP).
-
-Note that the key components of the OpenDaylight based scenarios of
-FastDataStacks are the same. The Layer 2 scenario "apex-os-odl_l2-fdio-noha"
-and the Layer 3 scenario "apex-os-odl_l3-fdio-noha" share the same components.
-
-Here's a more detailed list of the individual software components involved:
-
-**Openstack Neutron ML2 ODL Plugin**: Handles Neutron data base synchronization
-and interaction with the southbound Openstack controller using HTTP.
-
-**OpenDaylight Neutron Nothbound & Neutron MD-SAL Entry Store**: Presents a
-Neutron (v2) extended HTTP API servlet for interaction with Openstack Neutron.
-It validates and stores the received Neutron data in the MD-SAL data store
-against the Neutron yang model driven.
-
-**OpenDaylight Neutron Mapper**: The Neutron Mapper listens to Neutron data
-change events and is responsible for using Neutron data in creating Group Based
-Policy Data objects, e.g. GBP End-Points, Flood-Domains. A GBP End Point
-represents a specific NFV/VM port and its identity as derived from a Neutron
-Port. The mapped data is stored using the GBP End Point yang model and an
-association between the GBP End-Point and its Neutron object is maintained in
-the Neutron-GBP map.
-
-**OpenDaylight Group Based Policy (GBP) Entities store**: Stores for the GBP
-data artifacts against the GBP YANG schemas.
-
-**Neutron Group Based Policy Map store**: Stores the bi-lateral relation
-between an End-Point and its corresponding Neutron object. Neutron-GBP map;
-keyed by Neutron object type, port, and Neutron UUID, gives the GBP End-Point,
-Flood domain respectively. GBP-Neutron map keyed by GBP object type, end-point.
-
-**Neutron VPP Renderer Mapper**: The Neutron VPP Renderer Mapper listens to
-Neutron Store data change events, as well as being able to access directly the
-store, and is responsible for converting Neutron data specifically required to
-render a VPP node configuration with a given End Point, e.g. the virtual host
-interface name assigned to a vhostuser socket.. The mapped data is stored in
-the VPP info data store.
-
-**VPP Info Store**: Stores VPP specific information regarding End-Points, Flood
-domains with VLAN, etc.
-
-**GBP Renderer Manager**: The GBP Renderer Manager is the central point for
-dispatching of data to specific device renderers. It uses the information
-derived from the GBP end-point and its topology entries to dispatch the task of
-configuration to a specific device renderer by writing a renderer policy
-configuration into the registered renderer's policy store. The renderer manager
-also monitors, by being a data change listener on the VPP Renderer Policy
-States, for any errors in the application of a rendered configuration.
-
-**Renderer Policy Config Store**: The store's schema serves as the API between
-the Renderer Manager and specific Renderers like the VPP Renderer. The store
-uses a a YANG modeled schema to represent all end-point and associated GBP
-policy data.
-
-**Topology Entries Store**: The yang model based MD-SAL topology store serves
-two fundamental roles: 1. It maintains a topological representation of the GBP
-End Points, in the context of customer networks. 2. It maintains an association
-of each (VPP) compute node's physical interfaces to their neutron provider
-network (e.g. The association between an ethernet interface and a Neutron
-provider network).
-
-**VPP Renderer**: The VPP Renderer registers an instance for VPP nodes with the
-Renderer Manager by means of inserting operational data into the Renderer
-Policy config store. It acts as a listener on the Renderer Policy consumes via
-the GBP Policy API data + the specific VPP End Point data, to drive the
-configuration of VPP devices using NETCONF Services.
-More specifically, the renderer generates:
-
- * vhost user port configuration that corresponds to the VM port configuration
- * VPP bridge instances corresponding to the GBP flood domain
- * port or traffic filtering configuration, in accordance with the GBP policy.
-
-The VPP Renderer also interacts with the Virtual Bridge Domain Service, by
-means of the VBD store, in order to establish connectivity between VPP nodes in
-a bridge domain. For this it uses the VPP device name, and the flood domain
-data derived from the VPP Info and End-Point data respectively. For the
-executed configuration operations it updates state in the Renderer policy state
-store.
-
-**Virtual Bridge Domain (VBD) Store and Manager**: The virtual bridge domain
-manager is responsible for configuring the VxLAN overlay tunnel infrastructure
-to arrive at a desired bridged topology between multiple (VPP) compute nodes.
-VDB configures VXLAN tunnels always into a full-mesh with split-horizon group forwarding applied on any domain facing tunnel interface (i.e. forwarding behavior will be that used for VPLS).
-
-**NETCONF Mount Point Service & Connector**: Collectively referred to as
-Netconf Services, provide the NETCONF interface for accessing VPP configuration
-and operational data stores that are represented as NETCONF mounts.
-
-**Virtual Packet Processor (VPP) and Honeycomb server**: The VPP is the
-accelerated data plane forwarding engine relying on vhost user interfaces
-towards Virtual Machines created by the Nova Agent. The Honeycomb NETCONF
-configuration server is responsible for driving the configuration of the VPP,
-and collecting the operational data.
-
-**Rendered Policy State Store**: Stores data regarding the execution of
-operations performed by a given renderer.
-
-**Nova Agent**: The Nova Agent, a sub-component of the overall Openstack
-architecture, is responsible for interacting with the compute node's host
-Libvirt API to drive the life-cycle of Virtual Machines. It, along with the
-compute node software, are assumed to be capable of supporting vhost user
-interfaces.
-
-The picture below show a basic end to end call flow for creating a Neutron
-vhostuser port on VPP using a GBP renderer. It showcases how the different
-component described above interact.
