Telcos use OpenStack to deploy virtualized network functions, and have specific requirements to interconnect these OpenStack deployments to their backbones and mobile backhaul networks. These interconnections, in particular, need to involve dynamic routing and interconnections with operators internal VPNs.
This talk will explain the role that the networking-bgpvpn Neutron Stadium project plays to address this need, from the basics of the BGPVPN Interconnection API, to more advanced uses made possible by evolutions of this API delivered in Queens.
The more interesting use cases will be the opportunity for a step by step demo.
We'll give a status of where the project stands today in terms of feature coverage, look at the set of SDN controllers providing an implementation for this API beyond the implementation in reference drivers, and last, look at the future of the project.
