The document discusses issues with the legacy Neutron network architecture and proposes a solution called Distributed Virtual Router (DVR). With DVR:
- Networking agents like the L3 agent and metadata agent are distributed from the centralized Network Node to each Compute Node. This removes bottlenecks and single points of failure.
- Most east-west and north-south traffic flows no longer need to pass through the Network Node. Floating IPs and router functions are handled locally on each Compute Node.
- Some traffic like accessing the DHCP server and SNAT rules still require the Network Node, but overall DVR provides improved scalability and availability compared to the legacy centralized model.
