Title:
  Scalability of the legacy L3 reference implementation (OVS)

Status in neutron:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Here is the description and how this problem can be reproduced:

  On a multi-node OpenStack instance with standard (legacy) l3 and no
  dvr:

  - Create a new tenant
  - Create a network/subnet, and a router for the tenant
  - Connect the network to the router (with the external network set as the - gateway as well)
  - Create a VM on the network and assign a floating ip to it
  - Ping the floating IP until the ping is successful
  Time the above.

  Repeat the above steps. As the number of tenants/networks/routers
  increases (to several hundreds) so does the time it takes for these
  operations to complete.

  Time to create the tenant and the VM remains fairly flat.

  The rest of the operations (setting up the networking) increases from
  a few seconds at the beginning to more than a minute when the number
  of routers grows to around a thousand.

  Note that the test does not stress the messaging or API servers as
  each iteration of above steps is executed after the previous iteration
  has resulted in an operational router and floating IP.

  The breakdown of various l3 operations (which seem to contribute to
  the above) show the possible bugs reported here:
