It seems I'm currently the only one interested on this topic, but I
will update the list anyway :)

I was able to implement solution b) quite easily by:

* installing ulogd2 on the network nodes
* modify rootwrap.d/*.filter, replacing for all "IpFilter" commands
"ip" with "/usr/local/sbin/ip_neutron_wrapper" script

The "ip_neutron_wrapper" script is a wrapper around "ip" that
basically check if a router namespace is created or deleted, and in
case starts/stop ulogd on that namespace. It's pretty simple:

#!/bin/bash
# This wrapper is used to ensure an instance of ulogd daemon is
# running on each router namespace that is created.

ULOGD=/usr/sbin/ulogd

if [ "$1" == "netns" -a "$2" == "add" ]
then
    # A new namespace is created.
    # Run the requested command.
    ip $@
    rc=$?

    ns=$3

    # Check if we are creating a router namespace
    if [ -n "$ns" ] && expr match $ns qrouter- >& /dev/null
    then
        # Router namespace. Run ulogd
        ip netns exec $ns $ULOGD -d -p /run/ulogd.$ns.pid -u ulog
    fi
    exit $rc
elif [ "$1" == "netns" -a "$2" == "delete" ]
then
    # Namespace deleted, *first* kill ulogd, then remove the namespace
    ns=$3

    if [ -n "$ns" -a -f /run/ulogd.$ns.pid ]
    then
        kill $(cat /run/ulogd.$ns.pid)
    fi
    exec ip $@
else
    exec ip $@
fi


This seems to work, but I haven't done any extensive testing.

Cheers,
Antonio
