The main components of the -"apex-os-odl-fdio-dvr-ha" scenario are: - - - APEX (TripleO) installer (please also see APEX installer documentation) - - Openstack (in HA configuration) - - OpenDaylight controller (in cluster) - controlling layer 2 and layer 3 networking - - FD.io/VPP virtual forwarder for tenant networking - -Introduction -============ - -NFV and virtualized high performance applications, such as video processing, -require a "fast data stack" solution that provides both carrier grade -forwarding performance, scalability and open extensibility, along with -functionality for realizing application policies and controlling a complex -network topology. - -A solution stack is only as good as its foundation. Key foundational assets for -NFV infrastructure are - - * The virtual forwarder: The virtual forwarder needs to be a feature rich, - high performance, highly scale virtual switch-router. It needs to leverage - hardware accelerators when available and run in user space. - In addition, it should be modular and easily extensible. - * Forwarder diversity: A solution stack should support a variety of - forwarders, hardware forwarders (physical switches and routers) - as well as software forwarders. This way virtual and physical - forwarding domains can be seamlessly glued together. - * Policy driven connectivity: Connectivity should respect and - reflect different business - -In order to meet the desired qualities of an NFV infrastructure, the -following components were chosen for the "Openstack - OpenDaylight - FD.io" -scenario: - - * FD.io Vector Packet Processor (VPP) - a highly scalable, - high performance, extensible virtual forwarder - * OpenDaylight Controller - an extensible controller platform which - offers the ability to separate business logic from networking - constructs, supports a diverse set of network devices - (virtual and physical) via the "group based policy (GBP)" - component, and can be clustered to achieve a highly available - deployment. - -The "Openstack - OpenDaylight - FD.io DVR" 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-fdio-dvr-ha" 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. These Computehosts also serve as - layer 3 gateways for tenant networks. - -TODO: update the image: - 1. Compute 0..N are gateways - 2. NIC2s on controllers are not in vpp - -.. image:: FDS-odl_l3-noha-overview.png - -Tenant and public networking leverages FD.io/VPP. On compute nodes, -VPP binds to both the tenant networking interface as well as the public -networking interface. This means that VPP is used for communication within -a tenant network, between tenant networks, as well as between a tenant network -and the Internet. - -Note that this setup slightly differs from the usual -centralized L3 setup with qrouter on the control node. This setup was chosen -to limit the configuration changes for the introduction of FD.io/VPP. 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. - -The picture below shows an example setup with two compute and one control -node. Note that the external network is connected via compute node 0 through -VPP. VPP provides all layer 3 services which are provided in a "vanilla" -OpenStack deployment, including SNAT and DNAT, as well as north-south -and east-west traffic filtering for security purposes ("security groups"). - -TODO: update the image: - 1. Add External network interface to Computenode-1 - -.. image:: FDS-L3-noha-sample-setup.png - -Features of the scenario ------------------------- - -Main features of the "apex-os-odl-fdio-dvr-ha" 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 - 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 - -Scenario components and composition -=================================== - -TODO: add LISP to components - -The apex-os-odl-fdio-dvr-ha 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-fdio-dvr-ha 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 centrallized scenario "apex-os-odl-fdio-noha" -and the DVR scenario "apex-os-odl-fdio-dvr-ha" share the same components. - -Here's a more detailed list of the individual software components involved: - -**Openstack Neutron ML2 OpenDaylight Plugin**: Handles Neutron data base -synchronization and interaction with the southbound controller using a REST -interface. - -**ODL GBP Neutron Mapper**: Maps neutron elements like networks, subnets, -security groups, etc. to GBP entities: Creates policy and configuration for -tenants (endpoints, resolved policies, forwarding rules). - -**ODL GBP Neutron VPP Mapper**: Maps Neutron ports to VPP endpoints in GBP. - -**ODL GBP Location Manager**: Provides real location for endpoints (i.e. Which -physical node an endpoint is connected to). - -**GBP Renderer Manager**: Creates configuration for Renderers (like e.g. -VPP-Renderer or OVS-Renderer). 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. - -**GBP VPP Renderer Interface Manager**: Listens to VPP endpoints in the -Config DataStore and configures associated interfaces on VPP via HoneyComb. - -**GBP VPP Renderer Renderer Policy Manager**: Manages the creation of -bridge domains using VBD and assigns interfaces to bridge domains. - -**Virtual Bridge Domain Manager (VBD)**: Creates bridge domains (i.e. in case -of VXLAN creates full mesh of VXLAN tunnels, configures split horizon on -tunnel endpoints etc.). 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). - -**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. - -**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 shows the key components. - -TODO: update the image: - 1. Add LISP - -.. image:: FDS-basic-components.jpg - -To provide a better understanding how the above mentioned components interact -with each other, the following diagram shows how the example of creating a -vhost-user port on VPP through Openstack Neutron: - -To create or update a port, Neutron will send a request to ODL Neutron -Northbound which contains the UUID, along with the host-id as "vpp" and -vif-type as "vhost-user". The GBP Neutron mapper turns the "Neutron speak" of -"ports" into the generic connectivity model that GroupBasedPolicy uses. -Neutron "ports" become generic "GBP Endpoints" which can be consumed by the -GBP Renderer Manager. The GBP Renderer Manager resolves the policy for the -endpoint, i.e. it determines which communication relationships apply to the -specific endpoint, and hands the resolution to a device specific renderer, -which is the VPP renderer in the given case here. VPP renderer turns the -generic policy into VPP specific configuration. Note that in case the policy -would need to be applied to a different device, e.g. an OpenVSwitch (OVS), -then an "OVS Renderer" would be used. VPP Renderer and the topology manager -("Virtual Bridge Domain" manager - i.e. VBD) cooperate to create the actual -network configuration. VPP Renderer configures the interfaces to the virtual -machines (VM), i.e. the vhost-user interface in the given case here and -attaches them to a bridge domain on VPP. VBD handles the setup of connectivity -between bridge domains on individual VPPs, i.e. it maintains the VXLAN tunnels -in the given case here. Both VPP Renderer as well as VBD communicate with the -device through Netconf/YANG. All compute and control nodes run an instance of -VPP and the VPP-configuration agent "Honeycomb". Honeycomb serves as a -Netconf/YANG server, receives the configuration commands from VBD and VPP -Renderer and drives VPP configuration using VPP's local Java APIs. - -.. image:: FDS-simple-callflow.png - -TODO: add description (and possibly a picture) of how forwarding works - - describe how packets travel in the setup - NOTE: could be in some different place in the document - -Scenario Configuration -====================== - -To enable the "apex-os-odl-fdio-dvr-ha" scenario check the appropriate -settings in the APEX configuration files. Those are typically found in -/etc/opnfv-apex. - -File "deploy_settings.yaml": Choose Opendaylight as controller with version -"oxygen" and enable vpp as forwarder.
