FAQ

• MidoNet doesn’t support IPv6 in general. An exception is the fip64 extension.

• While the IPAM part of Neutron address-scope extension does work with networking-midonet, the routing decision part of it is not implemented.

• MidoNet doesn’t support Neutron dvr extension because L3 routing is always distributed in MidoNet.

• MidoNet doesn’t support Neutron l3-ha extension. In MidoNet, It’s common to use multiple router ports with BGP to provide a redundancy. 1
