Features

Open Virtual Network (OVN) offers the following virtual network services:

  • Layer-2 (switching)

    Native implementation. Replaces the conventional Open vSwitch (OVS) agent.

  • Layer-3 (routing)

    Native implementation that supports distributed routing. Replaces the conventional Neutron L3 agent. This includes transparent L3HA :doc::routing support, based on BFD monitorization integrated in core OVN.

  • DHCP

    Native distributed implementation. Replaces the conventional Neutron DHCP agent. Note that the native implementation does not yet support DNS features.

  • DPDK

    OVN and the OVN mechanism driver may be used with OVS using either the Linux kernel datapath or the DPDK datapath.

  • Trunk driver

    Uses OVN's functionality of parent port and port tagging to support trunk service plugin. One has to enable the 'trunk' service plugin in neutron configuration files to use this feature.

  • VLAN tenant networks

    The OVN driver does support VLAN tenant networks when used with OVN version 2.11 (or higher).

  • DNS

    Native implementation. Since the version 2.8 OVN contains a built-in DNS implementation.

  • Port Forwarding

    The OVN driver supports port forwarding as an extension of floating IPs. Enable the 'port_forwarding' service plugin in neutron configuration files to use this feature.

  • Packet Logging

    Packet logging service is designed as a Neutron plug-in that captures network packets for relevant resources when the registered events occur. OVN supports this feature based on security groups.

The following Neutron API extensions are supported with OVN:
