<irenab> oanson, hi /bugs.launchpad .net/dragonflow /+bug/1708178
<oanson> irenab, hi
<irenab> oanson, tired of PTO?
<oanson> I can do both. Cooperative threading! :)
<irenab> oanson, once you have few mins, would like to chat about integration with 3rd party LBaaS providers
<irenab> seems to be broken/not supported now when L3agent is disabled
<oanson> Sure. We can do that now
<irenab> dimak, do you have few mins ^^

<dimak> irenab, yes
<oanson> Yes
<irenab> first, please set the priority for this bug
<dimak> I think we'll need to come up with an lb app that forwards packets bound to VIP port into the relevant compute/namespace
<oanson> The truth is I didn't know we support this feature :)
<oanson> irenab, what priority would you like? High?
<irenab> oanson, it worked before (with l3), this is how kuryr implements k8s services
<irenab> oanson, for kuryr integration its critical
<oanson> l3 agent is still supported. So that can be a workaround until this bug is fixed
<oanson> It can also be gated in the Kuryr-Dragonflow integration gate (which we can add to Dragonflow gate), so it will even be gated
<dimak> dnat acts funny with l3
<irenab> I think now with l3 agent we have some conflicts with DNAT, dimak has much more details
<dimak> because both will plug into br-ex and answer arps
<oanson> I'm not sure I want to say we don't support l3 agent.
<oanson> Is there a way we can get to play nice?
<oanson> Unless we do better on all fronts. Then we can do away with it completely.
<oanson> (And then we might do well to remove it from our code base)
<irenab> oanson, I agree with your approach
<oanson> Do we know if we are feature-compatible?
<irenab> lets keep L3agent enabled deployment possible, since it seems to be enabler for 3rd party services integ for now
<irenab> oanson, if DF supports all l3 extensions, I beleive the answer is yes
<dimak> I'll see if l3+ no dnat app works finne
<dimak> fine*
<irenab> is it possible to disable DNAT on l3agent?
<oanson> Is it possible to support l3 extensions in general, or do we have to support one by one? e.g. a single l3 extensions app, or do we need an app for lbaas, and one for e.g. vpn, etc?
<oanson> (I don't remember the API. Someone will have to look it up if we don't know)
<irenab> lbaas, vpnaas, fwaas are not l3 extensiosn
<irenab> each service is a separate extension set, and may have even separate api server (lbaas) is now octavia and not neutron
<oanson> Then l3 extensions is not enough.
<irenab> but they have proper integration into neutron by creating nets, ports, ets
<irenab> etc
<oanson> Sounds like we need to keep l3 agent support, since new extensions may be written to first support it, and if Dragonflow supports it we get it for free
<irenab> oanson, I will try to summarize
<irenab> 1. Keep L3agent support in DF (+fixing the issues to make it work again)
<irenab> 2. Advanced net services, lbaas (and maybe vpn) made working in l3agent enabled deployment
<irenab> 3. Provide DF native advanced services support
<irenab> correct?
<oanson> This is a t...
