API and Framework to interconnect bgpvpn to neutron networks

This project provides an API and Framework to interconnect BGP/MPLS VPNs to Openstack Neutron networks, routers and ports.

The Border Gateway Protocol and Multi-Protocol Label Switching are widely used Wide Area Networking technologies. The primary purpose of this project is to allow attachment of Neutron networks and/or routers to carrier provided WANs using these standard protocols. An additional purpose of this project is to enable the use of these technologies within the Neutron networking environment.

A vendor neutral API and data model are provided such that multiple backends may be “plugged in” while offering the same tenant facing API. A reference implementation based on an Open Source BGP implementation is also provided.

Devstack Quick start

To test this framework with the dummy driver (not doing any real interaction with BGP nor the forwarding plane) you can:

• install devstack

• add the devstack plugin for the BGPVPN service plugin to your local.conf:

  [[local|localrc]]
  enable_plugin networking-bgpvpn git://git.openstack.org/openstack/networking-bgpvpn.git

• bgpvpn-create/update/associate/delete/show/list commands will be available with the neutron client, for example:

  source openrc admin admin
  neutron bgpvpn-create --route-targets 64512:1 --tenant-id b954279e1e064dc9b8264474cb3e6bd2
  neutron bgpvpn-list
  neutron bgpvpn-update 1009a0f326b6403180c18f3caa1430de --name myBGPVPN
  neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-create myBGPVPN --network 828cddad3b834e79b79abc1b87b6cca0
  # returns <net-assoc-uuid>
  neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-list myBGPVPN
  neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-show <net-assoc-uuid> myBGPVPN
  neutron bgpvpn-net-assoc-delete <net-assoc-uuid> myBGPVPN
