Hi Matt,
I just re-read this thread, including your intro below. You might be
interested in what we're doing in the Calico project [1][2], as it uses
some of the same idea as the "example" you describe below, notably
importing TAP interface routes into bird and bird6.

[2] http://docs.projectcalico.org/en/latest/index.html
I'm currently working through factorizing the constituent ideas, and how
they might mesh with or complement other existing OpenStack ideas such
as DVR.
Regards,
Neil

Hi Vikram,
I am very interested in this, however can't do everything for free!
I believe that bird would be a better fit than Zebra/Quagga, as it is
just 2 processes to be launched in a network namespace. Also they are
very accessible/reloadable via the birdc/birdc6 control binaries that
lends itself to be called from python.
Could let you let me know if Huawei are interested in financially
supporting this please?
It is doable, and would be useful for smaller deployments. It can be
made part of the new ML3 that is proposed.
Looking forward to your answer!
Best Regards,
Matt Grant

Hi Matt,
Welcome to Openstack:)
I was thinking of supporting an open vRouter for Openstack neutron. Currently,
few vendors are there but are not open source. I feel it will be good if we can
introduce Zebra/Quagga for neutron. Since you have an expertise over these so I
feel we can do this much easier.
Please let me know about your views in this regard.
Thanks
Vikram

Developer and experienced Python and Network programmer?
Hi!
I am just wondering what the story is about joining the neutron team.
Could you tell me if you are looking for new contributors?
Previously I have programmed OSPFv2 in Zebra/Quagga, and worked as a router
developer for Allied Telesyn. I also have extensive Python programming
experience, having worked on the DNS Management System.
I have been experimenting with IPv6 since 2008 on my own home network, and I am
currently installing a Juno Openstack cluster to learn ho things tick.
Have you guys ever figured out how to do a hybrid L3 North/South Neutron router
that propagates tenant routes and networks into OSPF/BGP via a routing daemon,
and uses floating MAC addresses/costed flow rules via OVS to fail over to a hot
standby router? There are practical use cases for such a thing in smaller
deployments.
I have a single stand alone example working by turning off neutron-l3-agent
network name space support, and importing the connected interface and static
routes into Bird and Birdv6. The AMPQ connection back to the neutron-server is
via the upstream interface and is secured via transport mode IPSEC (just easier
than bothering with https/SSL).
Bird looks easier to run from neutron as they are single process than a multi
process Quagga implementation. Incidentally, I am running this in an LXC
container.
Could some one please point me in the right direction. I would love to be in
Vancouver :-)
Best Regards,
