I've spoken to my colleagues at Mellanox and they highlighted one failure mode that doesn't seem to be addressed in the spec: that is leftover/garbage entries in the SDN DB. This can be caused by port deletion requests that failed silently or re-initialising the neutron DB without clearning SDN DB first. Do you think this is something that could be added to this spec, or is it out of scope? From my experience this failure mode (silent deletion failure) isn't very uncommon.
Other than that I think this spec is a step in the right direction that can help bring Neutron/SDN closer to parity with Neutron/OVS.
Would it make sense to discuss this further in the neutron-drivers meeting on Friday?
Apologies for the delay.
