+IPv6 Gap Analysis with Open Daylight Nitrogen
+=============================================
+
+This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with
+Open Daylight Nitrogen 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 Open Daylight Nitrogen Official Release.
+
+**Open Daylight Nitrogen Status**
+
+In Open Daylight Nitrogen official release, the legacy ``Old Netvirt`` identified by feature
+``odl-ovsdb-openstack`` is deprecated and no longer supported. The ``New Netvirt``
+identified by feature ``odl-netvirt-openstack`` is used.

+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |Use Case / Requirement |Supported in ODL Nitrogen|Notes |
+ +==================================================+=========================+==============================================================+
+ |REST API support for IPv6 subnet creation in ODL |Yes |Yes, it is possible to create IPv6 subnets in ODL using |
+ | | |Neutron REST API. |
+ | | | |
+ | | |For a network which has both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets, ODL |
+ | | |mechanism driver will send the port information which |
+ | | |includes IPv4/v6 addresses to ODL Neutron northbound API. |
+ | | |When port information is queried, it displays IPv4 and IPv6 |
+ | | |addresses. |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |IPv6 Router support in ODL: |Yes | |
+ | | | |
+ |1. Communication between VMs on same network | | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |IPv6 Router support in ODL: |Yes | |
+ | | | |
+ |2. Communication between VMs on different | | |
+ | networks connected to the same router | | |
+ | (east-west) | | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |IPv6 Router support in ODL: |Yes |In ODL Nitrogen Release, RFE "IPv6 Inter-DC L3 North-South |
+ | | |Connectivity Using L3VPN Provider Network Types" [1]_ is |
+ |3. External routing (north-south) | |merged. |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |IPAM: Support for IPv6 Address assignment modes. |Yes |ODL IPv6 Router supports all the IPv6 Address assignment |
+ | | |modes along with Neutron DHCP Agent. |
+ |1. SLAAC | | |
+ |2. DHCPv6 Stateless | | |
+ |3. DHCPv6 Stateful | | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |When using ODL for L2 forwarding/tunneling, it is |Yes | |
+ |compatible with IPv6. | | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |Full support for IPv6 matching (i.e. IPv6, ICMPv6,|Yes | |
+ |TCP, 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 | | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |Shared Networks support |Yes | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |IPv6 external L2 VLAN directly attached to a VM. |**ToDo** | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+---------------------==--+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |ODL on an IPv6 only Infrastructure. |**Work in Progress** |Deploying OpenStack with ODL on an IPv6 only infrastructure |
+ | | |where the API endpoints are all IPv6 addresses. |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+ |VxLAN Tunnels with IPv6 Endpoints |Yes | |
+ +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
