Hello community, I'd like to advertise that me and my colleague Piotr Siwczak at Mirantis have started a series of blog posts explaining the gory details of OpenStack networking.
http://www.mirantis.com/tag/networking/ So far we have two posts: http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-flatmanager-and-flatdhcpmanager/ - basics of FlatManager and FlatDHCPManager in multi-host mode. http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-single-host-flatdhcpmanager/ - extremely detailed account of FlatDHCPManager in single-host mode; down to a walkthrough of L2 packet flow for several scenarios. I wrote this post in revenge for my own struggles when I dreamt "if only someone had described in extreme detail how it is *supposed* to work" but was not able to find anything like that :) A few more will appear soon: two posts from Piotr on VLANManager, eventually also analyzing the packet flow. (me and Peter have slightly different styles: he prefers to cover details across several posts while I prefer to write a huge post with all the details at once) Comments and especially corrections are extremely welcome! [and, well, shares too :) ] -- Eugene Kirpichov http://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenekirpichov _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
