OpenStack Neutron Dynamic Routing - Agent

Neutron provides an API to dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect "interfaces" from other OpenStack services (such as vNICs from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide advanced network capabilities, including QoS, ACLs, and network monitoring.

Neutron dynamic routing enables advertisement of self-service (private) network prefixes to physical network devices that support dynamic routing protocols such as routers, thus removing the conventional dependency on static routes.

It advertises three classes of routes:

 * Host routes for floating IP addresses hosted on non-DVR routers, the
   nexthop is the centralized router.
 * Host routes for floating IP addresses hosted on DVR routers, the nexthop is
   the appropriate compute node.
 * Prefix routes for directly routable tenant networks with address scopes,
   the nexthop is the centralized router, the same for DVR and CVR.

Neutron dynamic routing consists of service plug-in and agent. The service plug-in implements the Networking service extension and the agent manages dynamic routing protocol peering sessions. The plug-in communicates with the agent through RPC.

This package contains the Dynamic Routing agent.
