Description

OVSDB Plugin Library: Redesigned OVSDB Library

The library can be used separately by any Java OVSDB implementation to help serve as a reference implementation.

Implement a strong CI framework

Avoid developer downtime, reduce software bugs and increase the quality of the final deliverable

OVSDB plugin/Neutron: Implement various NXM extensions:

Upstream extensions Openflowlibrary project in order to leverage necessary extension to develop OpenStack services in the OVSDB Neutron integration.

Integrate OpenStack Security Groups and Rules

First of many OpenStack Neutron service integration. This will consolidate Port security functionality into the OVS network forwarding pipeline rather than the IP Tables Linux daemon.

Integrate OpenStack Neutron FWaaS

Integrate Firewall As a Service

Integrate OpenStack Neutron LBaaS

Integrate LoadBalancer As a Service

ARP Responding/Handling

L3 East/West forwarding distributed to the hypervisor

VLAN Support

To facilitate traditional non-overlay fabric integration.

Persistence OpenFlow v1.3 Storage Across Controller Reloads

Recover from a controller failure and restore consistency with OpenStack and Open vSwitch without interruption to existing provisioned resources.

Continue to be a Community-Driven Project.

Ensure the Community made up of open source developers and network operators and engineers always have as much input and decision making in the spirit of Open Source Software.
