-IPv6 Gap Analysis with OpenStack Liberty
-========================================
-
-This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with
-OpenStack Neutron in Liberty Official Release. The following table lists the use cases / feature
-requirements of VIM-agnostic IPv6 functionality, including infrastructure layer and VNF
-(VM) layer, and its gap analysis with OpenStack Neutron in Liberty Official Release.

- |Use Case / Requirement |Supported in Liberty |Notes |
- +===========================================================+=========================+====================================================================+
- |All topologies work in a multi-tenant environment |Yes |The IPv6 design is following the Neutron tenant networks model; |
- | | |dnsmasq is being used inside DHCP network namespaces, while radvd |
- | | |is being used inside Neutron routers namespaces to provide full |
- | | |isolation between tenants. Tenant isolation can be based on VLANs, |
- | | |GRE, or VXLAN encapsulation. In case of overlays, the transport |
- | | |network (and VTEPs) must be IPv4 based as of today. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |IPv6 VM to VM only |Yes |It is possible to assign IPv6-only addresses to VMs. Both switching |
- | | |(within VMs on the same tenant network) as well as east/west routing|
- | | |(between different networks of the same tenant) are supported. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |IPv6 external L2 VLAN directly attached to a VM |Yes |IPv6 provider network model; RA messages from upstream (external) |
- | | |router are forwarded into the VMs |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |IPv6 subnet routed via L3 agent to an external IPv6 network| |Configuration is enhanced since Kilo to allow easier setup of the |
- | |1. Yes |upstream gateway, without the user being forced to create an IPv6 |
- |1. Both VLAN and overlay (e.g. GRE, VXLAN) subnet attached | |subnet for the external network. |
- | to VMs; | | |
- |2. Must be able to support multiple L3 agents for a given |2. Yes | |
- | external network to support scaling (neutron scheduler | | |
- | to assign vRouters to the L3 agents) | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Ability for a NIC to support both IPv4 and IPv6 (dual | |Dual-stack is supported in Neutron with the addition of |
- |stack) address. | |``Multiple IPv6 Prefixes`` Blueprint |
- | | | |
- |1. VM with a single interface associated with a network, |1. Yes | |
- | which is then associated with two subnets. | | |
- |2. VM with two different interfaces associated with two |2. Yes | |
- | different networks and two different subnets. | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Support IPv6 Address assignment modes. |1. Yes | |
- | | | |
- |1. SLAAC |2. Yes | |
- |2. DHCPv6 Stateless | | |
- |3. DHCPv6 Stateful |3. Yes | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Ability to create a port on an IPv6 DHCPv6 Stateful subnet |Yes | |
- |and assign a specific IPv6 address to the port and have it | | |
- |taken out of the DHCP address pool. | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Ability to create a port with fixed_ip for a |**No** |The following patch disables this operation: |
- |SLAAC/DHCPv6-Stateless Subnet. | |https://review.openstack.org/#/c/129144/ |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Support for private IPv6 to external IPv6 floating IP; |**Rejected** |Blueprint proposed in upstream and got rejected. General expectation|
- |Ability to specify floating IPs via Neutron API (REST and | |is to avoid NAT with IPv6 by assigning GUA to tenant VMs. See |
- |CLI) as well as via Horizon, including combination of | |https://review.openstack.org/#/c/139731/ for discussion. |
- |IPv6/IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 floating IPs if implemented. | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Provide IPv6/IPv4 feature parity in support for |**To-Do** |The L3 configuration should be transparent for the SR-IOV |
- |pass-through capabilities (e.g., SR-IOV). | |implementation. SR-IOV networking support introduced in Juno based |
- | | |on the ``sriovnicswitch`` ML2 driver is expected to work with IPv4 |
- | | |and IPv6 enabled VMs. We need to verify if it works or not. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Additional IPv6 extensions, for example: IPSEC, IPv6 |**No** |It does not appear to be considered yet (lack of clear requirements)|
- |Anycast, Multicast | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |VM access to the meta-data server to obtain user data, SSH |**No** |This is currently not supported. Config-drive or dual-stack IPv4 / |
- |keys, etc. using cloud-init with IPv6 only interfaces. | |IPv6 can be used as a workaround (so that the IPv4 network is used |
- | | |to obtain connectivity with the metadata service) |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Full support for IPv6 matching (i.e., IPv6, ICMPv6, TCP, |Yes | |
- |UDP) in security groups. Ability to control and manage all | | |
- |IPv6 security group capabilities via Neutron/Nova API (REST| | |
- |and CLI) as well as via Horizon. | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |During network/subnet/router create, there should be an |Yes |Two new Subnet attributes were introduced to control IPv6 address |
- |option to allow user to specify the type of address | |assignment options: |
- |management they would like. This includes all options | | |
- |including those low priority if implemented (e.g., toggle | |* ``ipv6-ra-mode``: to determine who sends Router Advertisements; |
- |on/off router and address prefix advertisements); It must | | |
- |be supported via Neutron API (REST and CLI) as well as via | |* ``ipv6-address-mode``: to determine how VM obtains IPv6 address, |
- |Horizon | | default gateway, and/or optional information. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Security groups anti-spoofing: Prevent VM from using a |Yes | |
- |source IPv6/MAC address which is not assigned to the VM | | |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Protect tenant and provider network from rogue RAs |Yes |When using a tenant network, Neutron is going to automatically |
- | | |handle the filter rules to allow connectivity of RAs to the VMs only|
- | | |from the Neutron router port; with provider networks, users are |
- | | |required to specify the LLA of the upstream router during the subnet|
- | | |creation, or otherwise manually edit the security-groups rules to |
- | | |allow incoming traffic from this specific address. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Support the ability to assign multiple IPv6 addresses to |Yes | |
- |an interface; both for Neutron router interfaces and VM | | |
- |interfaces. | | |
