[pve-devel] proxmox 2018 : add support for "virtual" network and network plugins ?

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

maybe to begin with something simple,

can we try to implement a simple bridge plugin + s-nat


bridge: tenantnetwork1
        gateway_address 10.0.1.1/24
        gateway_macaddress a2:ed:21:06:e7:48
        gateway_node
        vlan 1 (optional)
        snat 1



and try to generate the s-nat rules on gateway_node

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '10.0.1.0/24' -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

(or maybe better : iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.1.0/24 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source public ip)

and also firewall bridge rules if the vm is on the same node than gateway

#iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i fwbr100i0 -j CT --zone 1



and try to implement failover of the gateway

Just tested, it's working fine.

yes, generaly SDN solution have their own gateway system, to interconnect virtual and physical world. 

openvswitch ovn : http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/high-availability/ 
opencontrail: http://www.opencontrail.org/category/Gateway/ 
vmware nsx edge: https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.nsx.admin.doc%2FGUID-3F96DECE-33FB-43EE-88D7-124A730830A4.html 

In this case, you need an sdn controller somewhere, and manage it with api. 


If we want to use linux stack,we need to implement this by ourself with vxlan/iptables nat/dhcp (and proxmox cluster is the sdn "controller" ) 

(With plugins, I think it can be done, as it's almost the same for all kinds of sdn : manage gateway, manage nat, s-nat, dhcp,....) 


Personnaly, I'm more to focus on linux stack first to have something working without external controller.

I just think there are many ways to provide that interconnect layer, basically 
any VPN or SDN solution?

not a problem then (if it works).
