Neutron/OFAgent/Todo

• OFAgent Todo
  • Reduce OVS dependencies
    • OVSDB
      • bridge identity
        • currently bridges are identified by name (eg. br-int)
        • it's more portable to use datapath-id
        • or use OFPMP_DESC dp_desc? Note: OVS returns "None" by default.
      • add-br, set-controller, set bridge protocols
        • factor out to "OVS" sub-driver
        • use OF-Config
        • move the one-time setup code to devstack
    • tunnel ports
      • ideally use OF-Config
      • but this likely remains switch-dependant
      • factor out the code into "OVS" sub-driver.
        • https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/ofagent-sub-driver
    • the way to configure physical networks
      • remove bridge_mapping in Kilo
    • stop assuming the existence of local ports
      • not a big deal
  • neutron interface driver
    • ideally use OF-Config
    • investigate if the existing IVS driver is usable for our purpose, at least for IVS.
  • nova interface driver
    • ideally use OF-Config
    • investigate if the existing IVS driver is usable for our purpose, at least for IVS.
    • probably it's better to avoid touching libvirt unless absolutely necessary
  • security group. ideally implement with flows.
