Hello, I was looking at the neutron pci sriov integration, to see what's the current state, but I still have a few questions. Maybe one of you could help out. I'm referring to the direct passthrough and not to the macvtap passthrough right now:
- Only VLAN for the tenant network is supported. Is that true? Where is the vlan tagging happening? Does libvirt program the VF to be a access port? - I read some wiki and code, that the sriov nicswitch agent is there for setting the link state of a VF. Does it have any other functionality? - Are Security Groups and rules supported with this setup. Are they being programmed into the sriov switch via the nicswitch agent or somewhere else? At least the agent inherits some security group class, but I couldn't find more details... - Similar the the anti spoofing rules, that are applied by default for every instance. Are they implemented with sriov somewhere? Or are they not required anymore due to the nature of a VF? - It's only for attaching instances, right? I've not seen support for the network node. If so, is also a SingleNode setup supported? I assume in this case the ovs for the l3 service has to run on top of the PF and you require a switch in haripin mode. Does that make sense? - The wiki [1] describes how to attach a port manually. I also read in a wiki for nova pci passthrough [2] that there are plans to provide passthrough based on a flavor. Is this also working for neutron sriov passthrough? Thanks a lot!
