Quantum VIF Plugging Improvements
High level description:
Impove the VIF plugins. The following link describes the problem:- https:/
The solution will enable Nova to retrive the underlying network implementations from the Quantum plugin.
Below are the required Quantum and Nova changes.
Quantum changes:-
- provide a API whereby Nova can retrive the underlying network implementation
- each plugin will need to provide this
Nova:-
- In the long run http://
- for the first phase a generic Quantum VIF plugin will be created.
- Nova will learn the networking implementation and build the networking configuration accordingly. This save the configuration of drivers and management on the nova side.
- Old configuration variables will be kept for backward compatibility (still need to understand how these can be deprecated)
API's:
GET /network-
Each plugin will be responsible for filling the relevant details
We may need to add in a port-implementa
Configuration variables:
None
Algorithm:
Quantum - return the specific networking implementation
Nova - Ensure that the networking implementation is supported :)
Data Model Changes:
None
Plugin Interface:
No changes
Required Plugin support:
Yes, each plugin will need to inherit the extended API and ensure that correct networking implementation is returned.

Whiteboard
I'm marking this as implemented. Any additional changes we can track under a more specific bp/bug.
Several commits for this have merged already, so we may decide to close this. However, there are some open questions with respect to the existing changes, which we are hashing out on the ML.
Given the short week, the fact that we are still in design discussions, and that it requires Nova reviews, I'm moving this to G-3. We should keep working on it now, but ttx wants milestones to indicate expected delivery, and I don't expect this to be done in one week.
renamed to make it clear that this is related to "vif-plugging", not any quantum plugin.
