Deliverables
------------
Software deliverables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- Fuel plugin for OpenStack BGPVPN
-- Changes to ODL Fuel plugin to activate the NetVirt Karaf features
- and to apply the appropriate configuration. Also changes to
- implement integration with 6Wind Zrpcd and Quagga.
-- Changes to Apex to enable a BGPVPN deployment.

Known Limitations, Issues and Workarounds
=========================================
+
System Limitations
------------------
Moving to the new NetVirt has caused a regression in which a subnet
cannot be both attached to a Router and Network associated to a VPN.
This has been worked around in the tests and the upstream bug is being
-tracked [0].
+tracked [0]_ and [2]_.
+
+NAT for a VM which is in a private neutron network does not work. Instances
+created in subnets that are connected to the public network via a gateway
+should have external connectivity. This does not work and can be worked
+around by assigning a Floating IP to the instance [1]_.
-OpenStack NAT does not work. Instances created in subnets that are connected to
-the public network via a gateway should have external connectivity. This does
-not work and can be worked around by assigning a Floating IP to the instance [1].
+Currently we observe non-deterministic failures of individual tests within the
+SDNVPN section of the Functest suite, which are not reproducible in the development
+environment. In a development environment all Functest tests are successful.
+Sporadic failures have been observed in test cases 4 and 8. Furthermore, the
+check of bgpd service running on Controller node, in test case 3, has a constant
+failure trend for Apex environment.
Workarounds
-----------
============
The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many
-times and all Functest tests (general and feature specific) are
-passing.
