+1 I believe the main point is not to confuse what we is need on the Hypervisor and networking but focus on what we need Openstack to support to be a robust and reliable system, for example most systems aim for 5 9's due to various requirements but what they really want to aim for us "predictable and deterministic systems".
I think to be fair to Kevins email, the focus should be that when we issue a port connection that we guanrantee its connected and we have a way to "validate that". Carrier grade is not just about system availability/uptime but also that we can ensure when a call for an object/resource is requested we can ensure its 99.999% of the time going to be handled and not dropped etc etc etc. Alan -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gordon [mailto:sgor...@redhat.com] Sent: May-22-14 9:44 AM To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][NFV] NFV BoF at design summit ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin Benton" <blak...@gmail.com> > To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" > <openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org> > Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2014 2:48:37 AM > Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][NFV] NFV BoF at design summit > > >3.

There seemed to be agreement at the BoF that one of our key tasks/challenges is to boil down such high level NFV requirements to create actionable feature requests/proposals in the context of OpenStack.
