Commit Message

Mark Michelson Nov. 29, 2017, 9:59 p.m. UTC
This change adds three new options to the Northbound
Logical_Router_Port's ipv6_ra_configs option:

* send_periodic: If set to "true", then OVN will send periodic router
advertisements out of this router port.
* max_interval: The maximum amount of time to wait between sending
periodic router advertisements.
* min_interval: The minimum amount of time to wait between sending
periodic router advertisements.

When send_periodic is true, then IPv6 RA configs, as well as some layer
2 and layer 3 information about the router port, are copied to the
southbound database. From there, ovn-controller can use this information
to know when to send periodic RAs and what to send in them.

Because periodic RAs originate from each ovn-controller, the new
keep-local flag is set on the packet so that ports don't receive an
overabundance of RAs.

Thanks a lot for the revised series.

I folded in the following changes and applied this series to master.

Awesome!, do you believe it would be possible to have this on the 2.9
series too?

Having the periodic router advertisements on the next openstack release was
one of our items
towards parity with the reference solution in the land of IPv6.

The 2.9 branch has not been created yet, so anything in master now
will be in 2.9.

+# This test sets up two hypervisors.
+# hv1 and hv2 run ovn-controllers, and
+# each has a VIF connected to the same
+# logical switch in OVN. The logical
+# switch is connected to a logical
+# router port that is configured to send
+# periodic router advertisements.
+#
+# The reason for having two ovn-controller
+# hypervisors is to ensure that the
+# periodic RAs being sent by each ovn-controller
+# are kept to their local hypervisors. If the
+# packets are not kept local, then each port
+# will receive too many RAs.
