3. Summary

The use cases and identified gaps in current OpenStack networking described in this document are formulated with the aim to start a discussion about the possibility to close these gaps. The contents of the current document are the selected use cases and their derived requirements and identified gaps for OPNFV C release.

OPNFV NetReady is open to take any further use cases under analyzis in later OPNFV releases. The project already have use cases in the following topics in the project backlog:

• API for programmable virtual network elements
• Networking requirements for P2P links from the cloud to places outside
• Networking requirements for VXLAN EVPN and eVPN DCI
• High available networking solution
• NAT-less routing
• Relevant use cases of [NFV001]
• Networking requirements for Edge Computing use cases
• Networking requirements for TE P2P links in the cloud
• Networking requirements for ECMP to VMs
• Networking requirements for LACP
• Neutron IETF Service Function Chaining API (see: [TACKER-FOR-NEUTRON])
