It doesn't do anything with the vSwitch so it leaves the +responsibility of binding the ports to the OpenVSwitch driver. However, it +needs to support IVS switches as well, which will not have a binding driver +since they are directly controlled by the backend controller. Therefore, it +will need to be responisble for responding to the bind_port calls for hosts +with the IVS switches and mark them as bound. + + +Proposed change +=============== + +At the port binding method to the Big Switch ML2 driver and have it respond +to port binding calls for IVS ports. + +Alternatives +------------ + + +Data model impact +----------------- + + +REST API impact +--------------- + + +Security impact +--------------- + + +Notifications impact +-------------------- + +Other end user impact +--------------------- + + +Performance Impact +------------------ + + +Other deployer impact +--------------------- +Deployers will be able to deploy IVS vswitches with the Big Switch ML2 plugin. + +Developer impact +---------------- + + + +Implementation +============== + +Assignee(s) +----------- + +Primary assignee: + kevinbenton + +Work Items +---------- + +* Add the port binding methods to the ML2 driver +* Add unit tests + + +Dependencies +============ + +N/A + +Testing +======= + +In addition to the unit tests, a new 3rd party CI test case will be added +for IVS deployed under ML2. + +Documentation Impact +==================== + +Mention that IVS can be used in conjuction with Big Switch Ml2 deployments. + +References +========== + +N/A
