Public bug reported: Currently, the subnets in Neutron only support one gateway. For provider networks in large data centers, quite often, the architecture is such a way that multiple gateways are configured for the subnets. These multiple gateways are typically spread across backplanes so that the production traffic can be load-balanced between backplanes.
This is just my use case for supporting multiple gateways, but other folks might have more use cases as well. I want to open up a discussion on this topic and figure out the best way to handle this. Should this be done in a same way as dns-nameserver, with a separate table with two columns: gateway_ip, subnet_id. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Assignee: Shraddha Pandhe (shraddha-pandhe) Status: New ** Changed in: neutron Assignee: (unassigned) => Shraddha Pandhe (shraddha-pandhe) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
