[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3] OVN localport type support

Daniel Alvarez dalvarez at redhat.com
Tue May 9 15:09:00 UTC 2017


This patch introduces a new type of OVN ports called "localport".
These ports will be present in every hypervisor and may have the
same IP/MAC addresses. They are not bound to any chassis and traffic
to these ports will never go through a tunnel.

Its main use case is the OpenStack metadata API support which relies
on a local agent running on every hypervisor and serving metadata to
VM's locally. This service is described in detail at [0].
