Neutron

In this post I’ll have a brief look at the NFV MANO framework developed by ETSI and create a simple vIDS network service using Tacker

In this post I’ll show how to configure Neutron’s service function chaining, troubleshoot it with Skydive and how SFC is implemented in OVS forwarding pipeline

In this post we’ll explore how DVR is implemented in OpenStack Neutron and what are some of its benefits and shortcomings

One of the basic function of any data centre network is the ability to communicate with baremetal servers. In this post we’ll see how Neutron L2 Gateway plugin can be used to configure a Cumulus VX switch for VXLAN-VLAN bridging.

In the this post we’ll tackle yet another Neutron scalability problem identified in my earlier post- a requirement to have a direct L2 adjacency between the external provider network and the network node

In the previous post we’ve had a look at how native OpenStack SDN works and what are some of its limitations. In this post we’ll tackle the first one of them - overhead created by multicast source replication

Now that we have our 3-node OpenStack lab [up and running][openstack-post-2] we can start exploring how virtual networks are implemented under the hood
