Adding ovsnfv scenario docs
Copied these docs from https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/18563/
These should be in the feature/scenarion project repo for better information control by the projects.
Added some notes to the installer links indicating they need to be updated when the final URL's are available.

Above links need to be updated with the eventual release URL's. This will need to be done closer to the +.. release date once the project and docs team have a solution ready and the final version of the installation +.. documents are done. + +Scenario usage overview +======================= +After installation use of the scenario requires no further action by the user. +Traffic on the private network will automatically be processed by the upgraded +DPDK datapath. + +Limitations, Issues and Workarounds +=================================== +The same limitations that apply to using Fuel DPDK-enabled interfaces also apply +when using this scenario. Including: + +* Fuel9 OVS-DPDK support works only for VLAN segmentation. +* Only interfaces running the private network (and no other network) can be + supported so each node needs a separate interface dedicated to the private network. +* The nodes with dpdk enabled interfaces will need to have hugepages + configured and some cores reserved for dpdk. + + +References +========== + +For more information on the OPNFV Colorado release, please visit +http://www.opnfv.org/colorado + |
