Ryan,

Trying to keep the thread to a single subject so we can knock them off.

There are two cases for multi-tenancy:


  1.  The VNF is multi-tenant: This implies that a single VNF can exist as a 
port-pair in multiple logical networks. For this to happen the VNF has to 
support two features:
     *   Separate management planes so different tenants can manage them 
independently
     *   Ability to handle overlapping IP-Address ranges in the control and 
data planes.
  2.  The network can be logically separated into different segments with 
overlapping IP address ranges. This is one of the functions of OVS/OVN I 
thought or do I have a key mis-understanding? If a VNF has its logical ports in 
the namespace of a specific logical switch then there should be no barrier to 
multi-tenant networks - or am I missing something fundamental?

I think 1) is a vendor issue and while we can make it easy for them they still 
need to do the work to separate the management/control and data planes?

Thoughts?

John
