BGP VPN resource implementation
Implement the BGP VPN extension for Neutron [1] & [2] with Contrail.
That extension aims to support inter-connection between L3VPNs/E-VPN and Neutron networks.
Contrail fits perfectly with that extension because it's based on L3VPNs/E-VPN technologies.
This extension uses the service plugin Neutron framework [3] and defines a new resource named 'bgpvpn' that contains all attributes needed [4] to declare a BGP VPN connection. Then, that connection can be associated/
A PoC [5] was written base on the key/value store exposed by the Contrail VNC API to maintain that new resource. The key is the UUID and the value a JSON dump of the resource. It works but it's not efficient. For example, if a tenant wants to list its BGP VPN connections, the driver needs to retrieve all key/value, and if the value seem to be a JSON dump of a BGP VPN resource and its tenant ID is the good one, it can be listed :-(
That blueprint add that BGP/VPN resources to the Contrail data model by adding it to the XSD schema with the project as owner and references to networks and logical-router. Then when a BGP/VPN resource is instantiated/
