Networking Overview

Live notes may be taken for this topic at: http://etherpad.openstack.org/Networking

Rackspace Implementation

Current implementation

  • Flat Network Design
  • Networking configurations injected into instances, or pulled via a Guest Agent
  • Instances protected by various IPTables, Ebtables, Arptables rules
    • Protects instances from IP/MAC Address Spoofing
    • Protects instances from ARP Poisoning Attacks
  • Host machines connect three Datacenter Networks: Public, ServiceNet, ManagementNet
    • ManagementNet is used for communication from controllers to host.
  • Instances connected to single bridge for each network, Public, ServiceNet
  • Bandwidth throttling.

Future implementation

  • Addition of HostNet Bridge for internal communication from Instances to all host network for storage.
    • Is this an additional network interface or does this piggy back existing.
    • Need Hypervisor agnostic communication for Guest Communication.
  • Open vSwitch
    • Instance protection rules could be pushed into the vSwitch.

Nova Implementation

Current implementation

  • Private networking and VPNs
    • Instances attached to separated VLAN tagged bridges
  • IP Address allocation handled by API
  • DHCP Server assigns addresses

Future implementation

  • Pluggable Network Implementation
    • Support for flat networking model
    • Support for IP injection
  • Network is its own worker process and uses queue
  • Support for dedicated network hardware

IPv6

IPv6 should have first-class support, we can derive IPv4 address binding with the IPv6 to IPv6 mapping space and configuration options.
