(c) Tim Irnich (tim.irnich@ericsson.com) and Nikolas Hermanns (nikolas.hermanns@ericsson.com) - -Introduction -============ -.. In this section explain the purpose of the scenario and the types of capabilities provided - -Many Telecom network functions are relying on layer-3 infrastructure services, within a VNF -between components, or towards existing external networks. In many cases, these external -networks are implemented in MPLS/BGP technology in existing service provider wide-area-networks (WAN). -This proven technology provides a good mechanism for inter-operation of a NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) -and wide-area networks (WAN) and is the main capability provided by the OPNFV SDNVPN project. - -.. should we explain here what a deployment scenario is? -The OPNFV SDNVPN feature is made available through additional OPNFV deployment scenarios, which are derived -from the baseline scenarios os-odl_l2-nofeature and os-odl_l3-nofeature. This document -provides an outline of the os-odl_l2-bgpvpn scenarios including guidelines and references to -required installation, software and hardware configuration documents. - -Scenario components and composition -=================================== -.. In this section describe the unique components that make up the scenario, -.. what each component provides and why it has been included in order -.. to communicate to the user the capabilities available in this scenario. - -The SDN VPN feature enhances OPNFV's baseline OpenStack deployment with the -possibility to configure BGP based VPNs using the Neutron API extension and service plugin -provided by the OpenStack Neutron -Stadium project BGPVPN. The BGPVPN project consists of a Neutron API extension and a -service plugin which has a driver framework similar to the ML2 plugin. BGPVPN today -has a quite large number of backend drivers (Bagpipe, OpenContrail, -Nuage and OpenDaylight currently). In OPNFV, currently only the OpenDaylight driver -is supported. - -The BGPVPN ODL driver maps the BGPVPN API onto the OpenDaylight NetVirt service, which exposes the data -center overlay like a virtual router to which Neutron Networks and Routers (and in the future also Ports) -are connected. NetVirt has access to the state of the Neutron API through the OpenDaylight -Neutron Northbound Interface module, which has been enhanced to support the BGPVPN API extension. -It uses an internal mesh of VxLAN tunnels to interconnect the vSwitches on the data -center compute nodes. For the purpose of BGP based route exchange with other BGP speakers the ODL -controller makes use of Quagga BGP as an external BGP speaker. - - -Scenario usage overview -======================= -.. Provide a brief overview on how to use the scenario and the features available to the -.. user. This should be an "introduction" to the user guide document, and explicitly link to it, -.. where the specifics of the features are covered including examples and API's - - When would I use this scenario, what value does it provide? Refer to the user guide for details - of configuration etc... - -Configuring SDNVPN features ---------------------------- - -Each installer has specific procedures to deploy the OPNFV platform so that the SDNVPN feature is enabled. - -Fuel installer configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -To install the SDNVPN feature using Fuel, follow the Fuel installation guide ensuring to select the SDNVPN -feature when prompted <add link to Fuel docs once artifact locations are known>. - -This will trigger installation of the OpenStack BGPVPN API extension for -Neutron, set up for using the ODL driver, in addition to vanilla Neutron. -In addition, the required karaf features will be activated when ODL is installed and the compute nodes -will be configured including the VPN Service internal transport tunnel mesh. - -No post-deploy configuration is necessary. The Fuel BGPVPN plugin and the ODL plugin -should set up the cluster ready for BGPVPNs being created. - -APEX installer configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -To install the SDNVPN feature using the APEX installer, follow the APEX installation guide and -activate the SDNVPN feature when prompted. - -Limitations, Issues and Workarounds -=================================== -.. Explain scenario limitations here, this should be at a design level rather than discussing -.. faults or bugs. If the system design only provide some expected functionality then provide -.. some insight at this point. - -Currently, in OPNFV only ODL is supported as a backend for BGPVPN. API calls are -mapped onto the ODL NetVirt REST API through the BGPVPN ODL driver and the -ODL Neutron Northbound module. - -No DPDK-enabled vhost user ports are supported. - -Integration with data center gateway will not work due to missing OVS patches for MPLSoGRE. - -References -========== - -For more information on the OPNFV Danube release, please visit -http://www.opnfv.org/danube |
