These are great news Gary.
Do you happen to know if the patch will be also available for folsom?

I think that we will have to wait and see. I do not think that the chances are great as it is a major change and could cause instability in the stable version.


Thanks,
Gabriel

Hi,

In an Openstack deployment using Quantum, the compute nodes access the public/external network via the network node (as per the diagram http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/connectivity.html).

So if I have a hundred compute nodes each running hundred instances, wouldn't the link to the network node choke? Also wouldnt the network node's resources be a bottleneck?

Regards,
Balu

 Quantum Multi-host DHCP and L3

Yes. At the moment the network node is the bottleneck. There is a patch upstream in review that will solve this issue:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/18216/

Hopefully this will be ready in the Grizzly cycle.

In addition to this it also provides HA for the L3 and DHCP agents.
Thanks
Gary
