requirements of VIM-agnostic IPv6 functionality, including infrastructure layer and VNF
(VM) layer, and its gap analysis with Open Daylight Boron Official Release.
+**Open Daylight Boron Status**
+
+There are 2 options in Open Daylight Boron to provide Virtualized Networks:
+
+1 ``Old Netvirt``: netvirt implementation used in Open Daylight Beryllium Release
+ identified by feature ``odl-ovsdb-openstack``
+
+2 ``New Netvirt``: netvirt implementation which will replace the Old Netvirt in the future
+ releases based on a more modular design. It is identified by feature
+ ``odl-netvirt-openstack``

- |Use Case / Requirement |Supported in ODL Boron|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. However, in Boron release, ODL net-virt provider |
- | | |does not support IPv6 features (i.e., the actual functionality is missing |
- | | |and would be available only in the later releases of ODL). |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |IPv6 Router support in ODL |**No** |ODL net-virt provider in Boron release only supports IPv4 Router. |
- | | | |
- |1. Communication between VMs on same compute node | |In the meantime, if IPv6 Routing is necessary, we can use ODL for L2 |
- |2. Communication between VMs on different compute nodes | |connectivity and Neutron L3 agent for IPv4/v6 routing. |
- | (east-west) | | |
- |3. External routing (north-south) | | |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |IPAM: Support for IPv6 Address assignment modes. |**No** |Although it is possible to create different types of IPv6 subnets in ODL, |
- | | |ODL_L3 would have to implement the IPv6 Router that can send out Router |
- |1. SLAAC | |Advertisements based on the IPv6 addressing mode. Router Advertisement |
- |2. DHCPv6 Stateless | |is also necessary for VMs to configure the default route. |
- |3. DHCPv6 Stateful | | |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |When using ODL for L2 forwarding/tunneling, it is compatible |Yes | |
- |with IPv6. | | |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- |Full support for IPv6 matching (i.e., IPv6, ICMPv6, TCP, UDP)|**No** |Security Groups for IPv6 is a work in progress. |
- |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** | |
