Description

Currently OpenNebula assumes a L2 connected multicast network for VXLAN to work (same broadcast domain). But if you want to use routed multicast traffic the vxlan ttl should be > than 1 or otherwise the traffic will be dropped at the hypervisor. I changed /var/lib/one/remotes/vnm/vxlan/vxlan_driver.rbto hard code a ttl (10):

- " #{mtu} type vxlan id #{@nic[:vlan_id]} group #{mcs}"\
+ " #{mtu} type vxlan id #{@nic[:vlan_id]} group #{mcs} ttl 10"\

Ideally the ttl would be made a VXLAN option in /var/lib/one/remotes/vnm/OpenNebulaNetwork.conf, i.e.:

  1. Time To Live (TTL) for VXLAN networks. TTL should be > 1 in routed multicast networks (IGMP)
    :vxlan_ttl: 10
