Agenda

Updated Aug 18th, 2015

  • Devstack Plugin
  • VPN Functional tests
  • Multiple local subnet enhancement - started on tunnel endpoints.


Announcements

  • Stable/kilo is working now with VPN (re-enabled service)
  • Fixes to allow Neutron to start, when missing adv. service plugins.
  • Local tunnel IP change upstreamed.


Devstack plugin

Final pair of commits out for review to rename service for plugin, and modify devstack so that either q-vpn service or plugin can be used (getting two instances of q-vpn service started). https://review.openstack.org/213228 and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/213253/.

For neutronclient, have pair of commits to create new job and enable plugin. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/209887/ and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/210021/


VPN Functional Tests for Neutron Commits

No action on this currently. Awaiting resolution of more pressing issues.


Multiple Local Subnets on VPN connection

Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1459423

Please review developer reference doc (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/191944), especially from BGP/Edge VPN folks to see if some of this can be reused.

Implemented create API for endpoint groups. Will post soon, and continue on rest of CRUD for this. Once done, can update IPSec to use this API for multiple local subnets.

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)...

  • Could use python34 support added to neutron-vpnaas. Several tests are being disabled.
  • Grenade work to support Advanced Services, so that plugin can be activated.
  • Validation that peer IP for VPN connection is of same version as router's GW I/F.
  • User documentation for Networking Guide. (including limitations/restrictions)
  • Coverage, especially in database and device driver modules, is lacking.
  • Need more functional tests for OpenSwan device driver (and StrongSwan driver). Identify what's needed (MTU check, connection delete, admin up/down?, non-default configs [API or unit?], IPv6).
  • 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.
  • 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/should they be integrated into VPNaaS?
  • Certificate support for IPSec (Barbican - see what LBaaS did to use certificate). - RFE created.
  • 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).
