Multiple Local Subnets on VPN connection
Waiting for Drivers Team to review RFE. One question, should we add a (new) restriction that requires the local and peer subnets to be the same IP version? Currently, with the 1:N (local:peer) subnets, there is no check that the peer and local subnets are using the same IP versioning. Should they be required to both be IPv4 or IPv6 and not mixed?
BGP/MPLS and Edge VPN
From last meeting, please contribute use cases to https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/vpn-flavors, so that we can better understand the VPN variants that are being discussed.
Let's try to get the use cases and workflows documented on the etherpad, so we have a shared understanding of the different proposals out there. Can continue discussing the designs here.
Here's some info from the summit:
- Edge-VPN http://git.openstack.org/cgit/stackforge/networking-edge-vpn/ with spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/152377/
- BGP VPN https://github.com/stackforge/networking-bgpvpn with API proposa https://review.openstack.org/#/c/177740
DM VPN

Open Discussion
Bucket List
Here are some ideas for tasks that need to be done (feel free to work on them - put your name by any you choose)...
- User documentation for Networking Guide. (including limitations/restrictions)
- Coverage, especially in database and device driver modules, is lacking.
- Need functional tests for OpenSwan device driver (and StrongSwan driver). Identify what's needed (MTU check, connection delete, admin up/down?, non-default configs).
- Refactor duplication out of device driver code (OpenSwan, StrongSwan, Cisco, Vyatta)
- The OpenSwan class should be separated from the ABC definition, and placed into a new module.
- Remove /n from execute method in utils.py so that duplicate code can be removed in VPN drivers.
- Documentation on how to use StrongSwan
- Developer Reference Documentation needed. (pc_m adding empty DevRef doc sections).
- Looks like StrongSwan is missing some configuration settings in template, so can only do defaults. Bug filed.
- Documentation on the differences between StrongSwan and OpenSwan (and any limitations/restrictions of each - e.g. mixing IPv4/v6)
- StrongSwan execute_with_mount() to allow configurable rootwrap config file.
- Support for BGP/MPLS VPN? DM VPN? OpenVPN (road-warrior)? Can they be integrated into VPNaaS?
- Certificate support for IPSec (Barbican - see what LBaaS did to use certificate). - RFE created. Will investigate pc_m
- Devstack support for VPNaaS (see LBaaS including devstack setup in their repo).
- Multiple local subnet support for IPSec. - RFE created. pc_m
- There is interest by some on other VPN types (e.g. something similar to AWS DirectConnect and Azure ExpressRoute).
- Should enhance/add unit test cases for:
- Checking various sync() cases: router w/o VPN running on it any more; router with VPN running, but no longer a service configured; process running VPN, but no longer VPN configured.
- Verification of contents of configuration files created for StrongSwan and OpenSwan.
- Verification of reported status for various cases: connections (active, down, pending create), service (created, deleted, admin down).
