Drivers

The BGPVPN service plugin supports the following drivers:

• OVS/linuxbridge driver (bagpipe)
• OpenContrail driver
• OpenDaylight driver
• Nuage Networks driver

The API is consistent across drivers, but not all drivers support all parts of the API. Refer to the Driver Compatibility Matrix to determine what is supported with each driver.

This applies to the current BGPVPN Contrail driver sometimes called v2 driver, which is different from the now obsolete v1 driver that was under networking_bgpvpn.

This applies to the current BGPVPN ODL v2 driver sometimes called v2 driver, which is different from the now obsolete v1 driver that was under networking_bgpvpn.

The behavior corresponding to advertise_extra_routes: true, is supported as the default with ODL, without support in the API for turning it off.
