FWaaS DVR

With DVR we can have flows being asymmetric with respect to a router. FWaaS implemented as iptables relies on seeing both sides of a flow for stateful inspection. DVR introduces some additional network namespaces to deal with different aspects of a traffic flow. The initial target being attempted is to ensure that FWaaS can be applied on North - South (N - S) traffic flows correctly. This will get us perimeter firewall support.

The changes ensure that FWaaS rules are applied on the correct network Namespace on the Network node as well as on the Compute node. FWaaS support for East - West traffic is not being addressed at this time.

FWaaS DVR Blueprint

FWaaS DVR Spec

FWaaS DVR Patch

FWaaS DVR Migration

centralized to distributed there will be a check inside plugin to throw an exception if a firewall has been configured this requires helper to know if there is a firewall configured

Mix of centralized and distributed routers and migrating to a different types, although this might work the behavior is not yet known and our initial target is tackle the limited transitions from centralized to distributed

distributed to centralized there needs to a check inside plugin to throw an exception if a firewall has been configured this requires helper to know if there is a firewall configured, although this case is not the likely one to be addressed.

FWaaS DVR Setup

single node setup requires following changes to localrc Q_PLUGIN=ml2 Q_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPE=vxlan Q_DVR_MODE=dvr_snat
