(c) Bin Hu + +L3VPNs are virtual layer 3 networks described in multiple standards and RFCs, +such as [RFC4364]_ and [RFC7432]_. Connectivity as well as traffic separation is +achieved by exchanging routes between VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding). + +Moreover, a Service Providers' virtualized network infrastructure may consist of +one or more SDN Controllers from different vendors. Those SDN Controllers may be +managed within one cloud or multiple clouds. Jointly, those VIMs (e.g. OpenStack +instances) and SDN Controllers work together in an interoperable framework to +create L3 services in the Service Providers' virtualized network infrastructure. + +While interoperability between SDN controllers and the corresponding data planes +is ensured based on standardized protocols (e.g., [RFC4364]_ and [RFC7432]_), +the integration and management of different SDN domains from the VIM is not +clearly defined. Hence, this section analyses three L3VPN use cases involving +multiple SDN Controllers. + + + +Any-to-Any Base Case +-------------------- + +Description +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This any-to-any use case is the base scenario, providing layer 3 connectivity +between VNFs in the same L3VPN while separating the traffic and IP address +spaces of different L3VPNs belonging to different tenants. + +There are 2 hosts (compute nodes). SDN Controller A and vForwarder A are +provided by Vendor A and run on host A. SDN Controller B and vForwarder B +are provided by Vendor B, and run on host B. + +There are 2 tenants. Tenant 1 creates L3VPN Blue with 2 subnets: 10.1.1.0/24 and +10.3.7.0/24. Tenant 2 creates L3VPN Red with 1 subnet and an overlapping +address space: 10.1.1.0/24. The network topology is shown in +:numref:`l3vpn-any2any-figure`. + +.. figure:: images/l3vpn-any2any.png + :name: l3vpn-any2any-figure + :width: 100% + +In L3VPN Blue, VMs G1 (10.1.1.5) and G2 (10.3.7.9) are spawned on host A, and +attached to 2 subnets (10.1.1.0/24 and 10.3.7.0/24) and assigned IP addresses +respectively. VMs G3 (10.1.1.6) and G4 (10.3.7.10) are spawned on host B, and +attached to 2 subnets (10.1.1.0/24 and 10.3.7.0/24) and assigned IP addresses +respectively. + +In L3VPN Red, VM G5 (10.1.1.5) is spawned on host A, and attached to subnet +10.1.1.0/24. VM G6 (10.1.1.6) is spawned on host B, and attached to the same +subnet 10.1.1.0/24. + + + +Derived Requirements +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Northbound API / Workflow ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +.. **Georg: this section needs to be made more readable** + +An example of the desired workflow is as follows: + +1. Create Network + +2. Create Network VRF Policy Resource ``Any-to-Any`` + + 2.1. This policy causes the following configuration when a VM of this tenant is spawned on a host: + + 2.1.1. There will be a RD assigned per VRF + + 2.1.2. There will be a RT used for the common any-to-any communication + +3. Create Subnet + +4. Create Port (subnet, network VRF policy resource). This causes the controller to: + + 4.1. Create a VRF in vForwarder's FIB, or update VRF if it already exists + + 4.2. Install an entry for the guest's host route in FIBs of the vForwarder serving this tenant's virtual network + + 4.3. Announce guest host route to WAN-GW via MP-BGP + + + + +Current implementation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Support for creating and managing L3VPNs is available in OpenStack Neutron by +means of the [BGPVPN]_ project. In order to create the L3VPN network +configuration described above using the API [BGPVPN]_ API, the following workflow +is needed: + +1. Create Neutron networks for tenant "Blue" + + ``neutron net-create --tenant-id Blue net1`` + + ``neutron net-create --tenant-id Blue net2`` + + +2. Create subnets for the Neutron networks for tenant "Blue" + + ``neutron subnet-create --tenant-id Blue --name subnet1 net1 10.1.1.0/24`` + + ``neutron subnet-create --tenant-id Blue --name subnet2 net2 10.3.7.0/24`` + + +3. Create Neutron ports in the corresponding networks for tenant "Blue" + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Blue --name G1 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet1,ip_address=10.1.1.5 net1`` + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Blue --name G2 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet1,ip_address=10.1.1.6 net1`` + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Blue --name G3 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet2,ip_address=10.3.7.9 net2`` + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Blue --name G4 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet2,ip_address=10.3.7.10 net2`` + + +4. Create Neutron network for tenant "Red" + + ``neutron net-create --tenant-id Red net3`` + + +5. Create subnet for the Neutron network of tenant "Red" + + ``neutron subnet-create --tenant-id Red --name subnet3 net3 10.1.1.0/24`` + + +6. Create Neutron ports in the networks of tenant "Red" + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Red --name G5 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet3,ip_address=10.1.1.5 net3`` + + ``neutron port-create --tenant-id Red --name G7 --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet3,ip_address=10.1.1.6 net3`` + + +7. Create a L3VPN by means of the BGPVPN API for tenant "Blue" + + ``neutron bgpvpn-create --tenant-id Blue --route-targets AS:100 --name vpn1`` + + +8. Associate the L3VPN of tenant "Blue" with the previously created networks + + ``neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-create --tenant-id Blue --network net1 --name vpn1`` + + ``neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-create --tenant-id Blue --network net2 --name vpn1`` + + +9. Create a L3VPN by means of the BGPVPN API for tenant "Red" + + ``neutron bgpvpn-create --tenant-id Red --route-targets AS:200 --name vpn2`` + + +10. Associate the L3VPN of tenant "Red" with the previously created networks + + ``neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-create --tenant-id Red --network net3 --name vpn2`` + + +Comments: + +* In this configuration only one BGPVPN for each tenant is created. + +* The ports are associated indirectly to the VPN through their networks. + +* The BGPVPN backend takes care of distributing the /32 routes to the vForwarder + instances and assigning appropriate RD values. + + + +Gaps in the current solution +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +In terms of the functionality provided by the BGPVPN project, there are no gaps +preventing this particular use case from a L3VPN perspective. + +However, in order to support the multi-vendor aspects of this use case, a better +support for integrating multiple backends is needed (see previous use case). + + |
