Hi everybody, I'm trying to to achieve 2 things:
#1 Add common macvtap support for all kind of interfaces to neutron core (via a macvtap ml2-plugin & agent) [1]. There has been a long discussion where this should land but finally we Kyle decided to do it in tree [2]. For the agent part, Sean Collins and myself are currently evaluating a refactoring and extension of the linuxbridge agent to support both, linuxbridge and macvtap attachments. If this will end up in just sharing classes or if we will create a agent-plugin-framework is still to be discussed. #2 Continue Modular-layer-2-agent discussion The refactoring mentioned in #1 could be a first step into the direction of a modular-layer-2-agent - or at least to common agent code. I will gather information from passed discussions and try to come up with ideas about feasible steps to such a modular agent. At least between sriov, linuxbridge and macvtap I can see a lot of potential. Not sure about OVS which has become much more powerful and complex in the meanwhile - we will see. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks!
