(c) Bin Hu (AT&T) and Sridhar Gaddam (RedHat) ========================================== IPv6 Gap Analysis with Open Daylight Boron ========================================== This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with Open Daylight Boron Official Release. The following table lists the use cases / feature requirements of VIM-agnostic IPv6 functionality, including infrastructure layer and VNF (VM) layer, and its gap analysis with Open Daylight Boron Official Release. **Open Daylight Boron Status** There are 2 options in Open Daylight Boron to provide Virtualized Networks: 1 ``Old Netvirt``: netvirt implementation used in Open Daylight Beryllium Release identified by feature ``odl-ovsdb-openstack`` 2 ``New Netvirt``: netvirt implementation which will replace the Old Netvirt in the future releases based on a more modular design. It is identified by feature ``odl-netvirt-openstack`` .. table:: :class: longtable +--------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ |Use Case / Requirement | Supported in ODL Boron |Notes | | +---------------------+-----------------------+ | | | Old Netvirt | New Netvirt | | | |(odl-ovsdb-openstack)|(odl-netvirt-openstack)| | +==================================================+=====================+=======================+==============================================================+ |REST API support for IPv6 subnet creation in ODL |Yes |Yes |Yes, it is possible to create IPv6 subnets in ODL using | | | | |Neutron REST API. | | | | | | | | | |For a network which has both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets, ODL | | | | |mechanism driver will send the port information which includes| | | | |IPv4/v6 addresses to ODL Neutron northbound API.
