Provider Networking - upstream SLAAC support

Registered by Sean M. Collins

It should be possible to create a Provider Network in Neutron, that uses an upstream switch or router that advertises RA's - so that instances can use SLAAC to configure their IPv6 networking, while still utilizing the Neutron APIs for security group rules.

Whiteboard

11-June (mestery): Moving to Juno-2 since one of the patches is still WIP.

29-May (mestery): This should land in Juno-1.

6-Mar (markmcclain): Deferring this last bit until Juno

Any details on how this is to be implemented, particularly with respect to port firewalling? You wouldn'y want to pass RAs from just anybody and the antispoof filters need to know the IPv6 addresses in use. -- Ian.

We'll be putting some documentation together fairly soon, under both the wiki, under the IPv6 section (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/IPv6) and we'll also look into adding a chapter to openstack-manuals. -- Sean M. Collins
