The proposed design would seem to emulate nova-network's multi-host HA option, where it was necessary to both run nova-network on every compute node and create a network explicitly as multi-host. I'm not sure why nova-network was implemented in this way, since it would appear that multi-host is basically all-or-nothing. Once nova-network services are running on every compute node, what does it mean to create a network that is not multi-host? So, to Edgar's question - is there a reason other than 'be like nova-network' for requiring neutron multi-host to be configured per-network? m. 1: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/existing-ha-networking-options.html > I could be totally wrong and crazy, so please provide some feedback. > > Thanks, > > Edgar > > > From: Yongsheng Gong <gong...@unitedstack.com> > Date: Monday, August 26, 2013 2:58 PM > To: "Kyle Mestery (kmestery)" <kmest...@cisco.com>, Aaron Rosen > <aro...@nicira.com>, Armando Migliaccio <amigliac...@vmware.com>, Akihiro > MOTOKI <amot...@gmail.com>, Edgar Magana <emag...@plumgrid.com>, Maru Newby > <ma...@redhat.com>, Nachi Ueno <na...@nttmcl.com>, Salvatore Orlando > <sorla...@nicira.com>, Sumit Naiksatam <sumit.naiksa...@bigswitch.com>, Mark > McClain <mark.mccl...@dreamhost.com>, Gary Kotton <gkot...@vmware.com>, > Robert Kukura <rkuk...@redhat.com> > Cc: OpenStack List <openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org> > Subject: Re: About multihost patch review > > Hi, > Edgar Magana has commented to say: > 'This is the part that for me is confusing and I will need some clarification > from the community.
