New Features
- Neutron now supports IPv6 Prefix Delegation for the automatic assignment of CIDRs to IPv6 subnets. For more information on the usage and configuration of this feature, see the OpenStack Networking Guide.
- Neutron now exposes a QoS API, initially offering bandwidth limitation on the port level. The API, CLI, configuration and additional information may be found here [1].
- Router high availability (L3 HA / VRRP) now works when layer 2 population (l2pop) is enabled [2].
- VPNaaS reference drivers now work with HA routers.
- Networks used for VRRP traffic for HA routers may now be configured to use a specific segmentation type or physical network tag [3].
- The OVS agent may now be restarted without affecting data plane connectivity.
- Neutron now offers role base access control (RBAC) for networks [4].
- LBaaS V2 reference driver is now based on Octavia, an operator grade scalable, reliable Load Balancer platform.
- LBaaS V2 API is no longer experimental. It is now stable.
- Neutron now provides a way for admins to manually schedule agents, allowing host resources to be tested before they are enabled for tenant use [5].
- Neutron now has a pluggable IP address management framework, enabling the use of alternate or third-party IPAM. The original, non-pluggable version of IPAM is enabled by default.
