Re: [Netstack] [Quantum] plugin -> backend

Yes, we've had this discussion many times :) I agree that people find the term "plugin" confusing, but each time we've talked about it, we've failed to find a single term that is substantially better to warrant the confusion likely to be caused by renaming. In some cases I've started using the te

Hi, I believe there are two topics of discussion here, one of which is the terminology. The way things are implemented today, I agree that the “plugin” terminology seems a bit confusing. However, probably the bigger topic of discussion is what kind of a design is preferable, “backend” versus “p

Hi Nachi,It is seemingly a way to make it work, but I think we are thinking to provide 'port-id' or just 'port' to specify the top resource in quantum API. fix ip is not one.Besides, Port can be assigned to more than one fixed IP.Imagine in horizon, we created many networks, ports and subnets, but

Hi,Add it into openstack-dev and [quantum] into the subject.Yes, 'backend' seems better than 'plugin' for our case here.Our plugin is a must for quantum server to work,  while 'plugin' tends to make us think it will provide more functionalities if we plug it in.And I don't think our plugin is 'plu

Hi Dan,folks As we talked in netstack IRC meetins, I submit this as bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1031096 I tried to write this, but the code looks very ugly in order to keep backward compatibility. So I wanna propose an alternative design. In this design, we will use fixed_ip as a t

Æ!! Hi folks! I was concerned to bring the "plugins" discussion because it looks like a bikeshedding and it probably was discussed before, but I think it will be beneficial at all. What motivated me to bring the discussion was the Metaplugin implementation (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/1018
