The Quantum L3 router and floating IPs
This post shows how the Quantum L3 Agent uses the Linux IP stack to implement the Quantum L3 Routing and NAT API extensions. It explains in detail how external access with floating IP works and how it can be debugged.
The setup is from the Grizzly on Ubuntu 12.04 installer script where the OVS (Open vSwitch) plugin is used and IP namespaces are enabled. This post focuses on the quantum-l3-agent and assumes you are already familiar with Quantum - if not see the doc here. How the quantum-ovs-plugin-agent provides layer-2 connectivity for instances and agents was briefly described in this post.
First setup some networks and boot an instance - see the doc for more details. Note: you can use the web dashboard (Horizon) for this instead.

Now the setup is all done, its time to look at what the quantum-l3-agent did on the network node. First the OVS config:
root@netnode:/# ovs-vsctl show

ovs_version: "1.4.0+build0"
The OVS bridge br-int (integration bridge) has two ports. The port named tap1470cfd3-a6 was added by the dhcp-agent. More relevant to this post is the port named qr-9f1fa61e-1e which was added by the quantum-l3-agent for router1's interface on net1. Both ports in br-int have the same tag as they belong to the same Quantum network (net1).
The OVS bridge br-ex (external bridge) was created manually at install time with "physical" nic eth3 bridged in - seedoc. Now the quantum-l3-agent has added port qg-1423ba35-7c to it in order to uplink router1 to the external network.
The names for the OVS ports and interfaces are made from a prefix (qr-, qg- or tap) followed by the first 11 chars of the Quantum port they represent.
$ quantum router-port-list router1

+--------------------------------------+------+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The router gets its own IP namespace that is separate from the DHCP namespace and the main host operating system namespace. And within it are the interfaces that are plugged into the OVS bridges:
root@netnode:/# ip netns
qdhcp-a7e512cf-1ca0-4ec7-be75-46a8998cf9ca

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
The agent has bound IP addresses 192.168.101.2 (for gateway SNAT) and 192.168.101.3 (the floating IP) to the gateway interface qg-1423ba35-7c.
It has also bound 172.17.17.1 (sub1's gateway_ip) to qr-9f1fa61e-1e (router1's interface for sub1). DHCP pushes this IP to instances connected to sub1 for their default gateway.
The agent has also enabled IP forwarding within the namespace:
root@netnode:/# ip netns exec qrouter-4cdb0354-7732-4d8f-a3d0-9fbc4b93a62d sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
root@netnode:/# ip netns exec qrouter-4cdb0354-7732-4d8f-a3d0-9fbc4b93a62d route -n
Kernel IP routing table

192.168.101.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 qg-1423ba35-7c
If additional interfaces were added to router1 for other Quantum subnets, then their qr-xxxxxxxx-xx interfaces and routes would be added to the namespace.
Note in this case the default gateway 192.168.101.1 is an IP on the laptop running the VirtualBox VM netnode.
NAT
The quantum-l3-agent configures rules in the iptables nat table for floating IPs and the snat gateway. See here for iptables packet flow diagrams.

So a connection initiated from our instance to the outside will hit this rule in the nat table (post routing):
-A quantum-l3-agent-float-snat -s 172.17.17.2/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.101.3
And connection initiated from the outside to the instance's floating IP will hit this rule:
-A quantum-l3-agent-PREROUTING -d 192.168.101.3/32 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.17.2
So if an instance has a floating IP, then that will be used for both inbound and outbound traffic. But if an instance does not have a floating IP, it can still make connections out using the gateway IP, then this rule will be hit:
-A quantum-l3-agent-snat -s 172.17.17.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.101.2
Finally this rule prevents snatting on traffic being routed between internal Quantum subnets:
-A quantum-l3-agent-POSTROUTING ! -i qg-1423ba35-7c ! -o qg-1423ba35-7c -m conntrack ! --ctstate DNAT -j ACCEPT
Troubleshooting
The logs are the first place to start. All Openstack services have a log and the easiest thing is to jump to the end and page-up looking for a stack trace. The quantum-l3-agent's log is in /var/log/quantum/l3-agent.log on Ubuntu.
For more subtle problems, tcpdump is a winner. The physical interface in br-ex (eth3 in the diagram above) would be a good candidate to start with floating IP problems. For interfaces within the router namespace, I found it necessary to use line buffering ( -l ) to make it print packets as they happened.
root@netnode:/# ip netns exec qrouter-4cdb0354-7732-4d8f-a3d0-9fbc4b93a62d tcpdump -ln -i qg-1423ba35-7c
To see which iptables rules are being hit, you can zero the nat table counters with 'iptables -t nat -Z', then do a ping or whatever and do 'iptables-save -c' and look for the non-zero counters.
DNS requests from the instances to dnsmasq do not work. I think this is because dnsmasq is isolated in the dhcp namespace and cannot pass on requests. A workaround is to create (or update) the fixed IP subnet with a dns server specified with --dns-nameserver and the dhcp-agent will ensure it is pushed out to instances on the subnet.
root@netnode:/# cat /var/lib/quantum/dhcp/a7e512cf-1ca0-4ec7-be75-46a8998cf9ca/opts
tag:tag0,option:dns-server,8.8.8.8
tag:tag0,option:router,172.17.17.1
This also shows how the instances get the subnet's gateway_ip for their default gateway.
cirros$ route -n

Internet access for instances
If the floating IP (or gateway snat IP) is not a routable public IP, then you will need to do additional work outside of OpenStack. In my case I needed my home-router to snat the packets again with the public IP my ISP provides. So I had to configure my laptop's Linux and firewall to allow IP forwarding. And a static route was needed on the home-router to send packets destined for 192.168.101.0/24 to the laptop. Another option would be to add snat (or masquerade) rules to the laptop iptables instead - then there would be 3 levels of nat.
