Currently vrouter plugging in OpenStack is fragmented into a number of parallel codepaths:
* The in-tree legacy Nova plugging code for the 'vrouter' VIF type (TAP device plugging)
* In-tree legacy Nova plugging code for the 'hw_veb' VIF (passthrough plugging)
* os-vif code for the 'contrail_vrouter' VIF type (DPDK vhostuser plugging)
The Nova project does not wish to maintain the burden of parallel implementations, and any future work on the legacy VIF plugging methods is unlikely to be accepted.
This bug tracks the migration to os-vif, which will hopefully be completed in the Rocky cycle. |

This bug tracks the migration to os-vif, which will hopefully be completed in the Rocky cycle.
The corresponding work on Nova and os-vif is tracked by this blueprint:
