NetVirt is a network virtualization solution that includes the following components as well as others: Open vSwitch based virtualization for software switches, Hardware VTEP for hardware switches, Service Function Chaining support within a virtualized environment, support for OVS and DPDK-accelerated OVS data paths, L3VPN (BGPVPN), EVPN, ELAN, distributed L2 and L3, NAT and Floating IPs, IPv6, Security Groups, MAC and IP learning.
Major Features Delivered in Oxygen
============================
IPv6 L3VPN enhancements for North-South and external connectivity using BGPVPNs
ACL support for protocols that are not supported by conntrack
COE Netvirt Integration support for kubernetes
Better SFC integration
Neutron Port Allocation for ODL based DHCP Service
SR-IOV Hardware Offload for OVS
Weighted NAPT Selection
Support for compute node scale in and scale out functionality
Migration to automatically configured full-mesh of VxLAN tunnels
Upgrade Support based on configuration replay
Adoption of cache utilities from infrautils
Adoption of auto-retrying JobCoordinator utility from infrautils
Adoption of ManagedNewTransactionRunner utility from genius
Integration with Status & Diagnostics framework from infrautils
Support for FCAPs with integration of metrics utility from infrautils
Integrated support for creation of MPLS/GRE tunnels from OVS 2.8 for L3VPNs
Quality Improvements
=================
Considerable increase in CSIT coverage and reliability
CSIT cleanup to make tests more reliable
Include more scenarios: external networks, PNF's, IPv6, SNAT, L3VPNs
General code cleanup
Adopt better transaction handling patterns
Memory leak cleanup
Better exception handling
Scale Improvements
================
Support for 150 nodes, using GENIUS effort of decoupling tunnel manager (ITM) from interface manager (IFM) (WIP- SR1)
