Neutron in the Real World – TWC Implementation and Evolution
Time Warner Cable runs “stock” Neutron with ML2 and VxLAN at a scale of hundreds of nodes in multiple data centers. Today many who are standing up an OpenStack Clouds prefer Nova-Network over Neutron or, at best Neutron with a flat networking. Reasons are largely stated as Neutron complexity, maturity, performance, bad experiences during testing,… Continue reading Neutron in the Real World – TWC Implementation and Evolution
Highly Available, Performant, VXLAN Service Node
VXLAN is a point to point, UDP-based “tunneling” protocol, that enables L2 encapsulation over an L3 “undernet”, while also allowing up to 16 million Virtual Networks. One challenge with deploying VXLAN is that by default VXLAN requires multicast support for Broadcast, Unknown and Multi-cast packets. Often this is not possible in customer networks. An alternative… Continue reading Highly Available, Performant, VXLAN Service Node
