Make sure to always deploy +SDN VPN and ODL together. Make use of deployment scenarios including the SDNVPN feature. + +Summary +======= + +SDN VPN adds the possibility to create and associate BGP/MPLS based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) +through the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN API extension. + +Release Data +============ + ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Project** | sdnvpn | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Repo/tag** | brahmaputra.3.0 | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Release designation** | Brahmaputra second stable release | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Release date** | March 28, 2016 | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ +| **Purpose of the delivery** | Including ODL bugfixes | +| | | ++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ + +Version change +-------------- + +Compared to the Brahmaputra base release, a new version of ODL including several critical +bugfixes is deployed. + +Module version changes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +ODL has been upgraded to Beryllium SR1. On top of Beryllium SR1, a number of bugfix patches +are applied which will be contained in Beryllium SR2. The deployment procedure has been +enhanced to take care of previously required manual post-deployment configuration. + +Document changes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +A slight readability improvement to the user guide has been made. + +Reason for version +------------------ + +Feature additions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +SDN VPN adds the possibility to create and associate BGP/MPLS based Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) +through the OpenStack Neutron BGPVPN API extension. + +No new features are added in Brahmaputra.3.0 + +Bug corrections +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Several bugs in ODL VPN Service have been fixed in this release. + +Deliverables +------------ + +Software deliverables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Fuel plugin for OpenStack BGPVPN +- Changes to ODL Fuel plugin to activate VPN Service Karaf feature +- Integration of VPN Service functional tests and BGPVPN API tests into Functest framework + +Documentation deliverables +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Paragraph on SDN VPN feature for platform overview + +- Configuration guide + +- User guide + +- Release noes (this document) + +Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds +========================================= + +System Limitations +------------------ + +The currently deployed system does not contain a BGP stack and hence is limited to +providing connectivity within the domain controlled by one ODL instance (e.g. +intra-DC communication). Addition of an open source BGP stack is planned for the +Colorado release. + +Feature specific Yardstick test cases have not been implemented, we plan to add +these in Colorado + +Known issues +------------ + +The ODL VPN Service does not implement Floating IP, which is used extensively by Yardstick +to run generic system tests, which do currently not pass for this reason. + +Workarounds +----------- + +Manual configuration of VPN Service internal transport between multiple compute nodes is needed +to enable inter-node connectivity. + +Test results +============ + +The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many times and all Functest tests +(general and feature specific) are passing. + +References +========== |
