Virtual Routers on Compute Nodes - an (Not So) Irrational Decision?

Learn the production pros and cons of operating Neutron legacy and HA routers on compute nodes in your production cloud. Not ready for DVR or third-party network overhauls? Virtual router network “hot spots” got you down?  Large virtual router failure domains keeping you up late at night?  Neutron reference architectures not providing a scalable routing solution?  If you answered yes to any of these questions then this talk is for you.


What can I expect to learn?
  • Real world performance and system resource use of virtual routers
  • Neutron and underlay network traffic patterns, including encapsulation effects and "tromboning"
  • Consideration of the impact of Open vSwitch flows on this methodology
  • Required tuning of L3 Agents and message queueing
  • Ensuring "good neighbor" effects between resources shared for networking and compute
  • Discussion of why and when this type of implementation might be a mistake
