Expected Incompatibilities with Other Projects

OVSDB is considered incompatible with applications that program the flow tables on vSwitches. This includes:

   GBP
   OpenDOVE
   VTN

These projects have not held discussions as to how to become compatible because they each provide their own solution to the same problem.

Compatibility with Previous Releases

Removed APIs and/or Functionality

All ADSAL APIs and functionality will be removed since they were deprecated in Lithium and all external ADSAL dependencies have been removed.

Deprecated APIs and/or Functionality

Changed APIs and/or Functionality

Themes and Priorities

  • Increasing code, unit and integration test coverage to improve code quality, stability and usability
  • Remove AD-SAL dependencies
  • Neutron parity
  • SFC integration
  • Additional functionality to support QoS and Queue and hw vtep

Test Tools Requirements

System Test

This project plans on using System Test (ST) inside the OpenDaylight cloud:

  • netvirt: test suites
  • the southbound piece: test suites
  • scalability tests: TBD
  • hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
  • ovs-sfc: TBD

Here is a wiki page presenting the CSIT jobs implemented in the integration/test project regarding some of those modules: OVSDB: CSIT

Unit Test

  • Netvirt: approximately 90% based on Lithium
  • Southbound: for now around 35%, but this is still WIP
  • hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
  • ovs-sfc: TBD

Integration Test

  • Southbound: done
  • Library: done
  • Netvirt: done
  • hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
  • ovs-sfc: TBD
