Public bug reported: Since https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/840418 and the related chain of changes, it has been possible to use Neutron for use cases where a single host has access to multiple segments of a single routed provider network, provided ports are already associated with a subnet. The original changes added support to the base class, but didn't cover the SRIOV driver which overrides the bind_port method (whilst for the most-part doing a similar set of tasks).
We have found it useful to make use of this feature in our LXB+Caracal/Dalmation deployments, and I assume this may also be useful to OVS+SRIOV although I'm not familiar enough to know for sure. We have patched the SRIOV driver in a similar way via https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/941345 and thought it worth sharing more widely. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
