Re: 答复: Project Proposal from China Mobile

George Zhao
You may want to create two wiki pages for the two proposals respectively, then refer them by links in the email.

主题:Re: [Project-proposals] Project Proposal from China Mobile
Hi, Warnicke
Thanks for your reply, I will first share our ideas and the details about the two proposals here:
1, Hardware TTP
Our team have defined a standard TTP(Typed Table Pattern) pipeline ,which is adaptive for Neutron at the Northbound, for the hardware switch. We use OpenFlow on hardware switches to manage the communication for Layer 2&Layer 3, including the communication
between physical servers, physical server and VM, server and vRouters. It can also support the security group policy management, QoS and some other basic function.
I know there is already a project related to TTP in the community, but it has not updated and code contribution for a long time and its orientation is also unclear, so we hope to lead a new project. It is ok if you prefer a project integration, but we need
to solve the collision before that.
2, GNT(General network topology)
The goal of the project is to provide a unified topological layer, which can monitor different kinds of devices(ovsdb, hardwareVTEP, netconf) and computing resources(physical or virtual machine). This layer will shield the difference of the southbound protocals,
make other business modules easily get the overall topo without adaption for different protocals.
Besides the function to extend logical topo through the code itself, we have defined the yang model to provide the possibilty that let business modules for other southbound protocals get data from or write data to the yang model tree.
In addition, this project refers to Neutron of the northbound configuration to analyze the distribution of different kinds of network resources.
The existing topology module is focus on the OpenFlow protocal and no design for the shield of other protocal resources.
Thus, we hope the our project, GNT, can extend the topology of logical network and reduce the coupling between modules.
We still have some unclear parts and we hope you can give us some advices.
Regards,
Kaiyuan

Subject: Re: [Project-proposals] A new project proposal vpp
So, it sounds to me like the project proposal wanted to try to factor out the common elements of how SFC, NetVirt, and GBP would talk to VPP to do service chaining int one place
so that (a) the code could be shared and (b) we could reuse some of the work that GBP has done. However, the tone of this thread makes it pretty clear that (i) GBP isn't really interested in the shared code and (ii) is pretty opposed to the idea of their code
being used as the base even if it's a separate copy.
Give that, it seems like the right path forward is for SFC and NetVirt to decide if they still want to have a shared code bas for how they interact with VPP and if that should be
a new project.
I'll let that discussion keep going here and tentative schedule a creation review for next week—July 6th:

Hi, Robert
vpp data store isn't mirror of data store in honeycomb/vpp node, they are some intermediate data, vpp renderer and classifier will renderer them to real vpp data in honeycomb/vpp node, I'll work out a PoC to show you what it looks like.
we hope GBP guys can agree this, if you check Srikanthi's PoC and RPCs GBP vpp renderer provided, you can assume the vpp data store is just to save those parameters for those RPCs, for classifier, NetVirt defined its own classifier, GBP defined its own classifier,
SFC defined its own classifier, we hope they can have common classifier then augment it by itself, all the projects should use IETF ACLs and IETF interfaces, if so, the vpp data store can share these data in ODL.

I tend to agree with Ed's point. I am probably missing something, as I am not too fluent in SFC/GBP information models nor how they align with NetVirt's view of the world.
I think we have multiple input models (SFC, netvirt, GBP) being rendered onto a target device (which happens to be VPP, but it's really about models).
What would be the models for "VPP data store"? Is this a mirror of the SB device's model and are we talking about the proposed project performing the equivalent of FRM?
I am sorry, but it is extremely hard to distill scope from the proposal in its current form. I think it needs to be beefed up with details of interactions and needs to be vetted by all of GBP, SFC and NetVirt to make sure the proposal actually fits the use
case.
Furthermore it would be very beneficial to understand how this plays with netconf topology -- as I mentioned "VPP node" is in reality any SB device implementing a specific set of models (either directly or through an adaptor).
Regards,
Robert

Just curious: is "OpenDaylight VPP Interface Layer" too different from "VPP Plugin" proposed by Yi earlier? As a suggestion - if you want to avoid the evil sounding OVIL acronym, yet want to hide the name VPP inside an acronym perhaps you could go with the name OVP (an acronym for "OpenDaylight VPP Plugin").

Re: A new project proposal vpp
Also not sure why we need "Opendaylight" in the project name? But i don't have a strong object as such, i would defer it to project if they really want to have it in project name.
